The Boston Celtics will face their former point guard, Kyrie Irving, and fellow superstar Luka Dončić when they take on the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals
Former Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving and fellow Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić each scored 36 points to put the Minnesota Timberwolves away in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals
The Boston Celtics will be going up against a familiar face when they play the Mavericks for the championship. Minnesota staved off the sweep with a win Tuesday night in Dallas, but the Mavs trounced the Timberwolves Thursday to win the Western Conference Finals, earning a trip to the NBA Finals — meaning the Celtics' road to Banner 18 goes through Kyrie Irving.
The point guard's exit from Boston was acrimonious, to say the least, and he was not exactly a fan favorite late in his Celtics career or after it. Irving has one ring to his name, earned alongside LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015-16 season. This time, he has a new superstar teammate in Luka Dončić — and they each scored 36 points as Dallas won 124-103 in Game 5.The Celtics swept the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals and will hope to keep that success going in the Finals.
