Celtics – Mavericks 92-95: Dingwidi spoiled the celebration with a three at 9”

The Boston Celtics were gearing up for a celebration on a night dedicated to Kevin Garnett, but the Dallas Mavericks broke it all with a Spencer Dingwindi three-pointer in the 9” to take the double (95-92).

In a night of celebration dedicated to Kevin Garnett, the Boston Celtics made it a point. Or, if you prefer, the Dallas Mavericks spoiled the lovely atmosphere. Thanks to a three-pointer from Spencer Dingwidi at 9” at the end, the visitors clinched victory at TD Garden in Boston (95-92), in a thrilling game decided by two great shots and a challenge in the dying seconds by Jason Kidd.

When the hosts had a small lead, first Luka Doncic (at 1’21”) and then Spencer Dingwidi (at 9”) brought the total excitement and with them the Dallas Mavericks to +3 shortly before the end. Ime Udoka called a time-out, Marcus Smart took charge. He missed three times, in a period where the umpires initially gave fouls and three shots, before a challenge from Jason Kidd and the… justification.

The referees reversed the decision for a foul on the three-pointer, went to the Yambol and from there Boston had one last chance from the periphery in Jason Tatum. However, the shot he attempted ended up in the iron and so the victory went to Dallas.

Luka Doncic was the top scorer with 26 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, while Spencer Dingwidi offered 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Among those honored is Maxi Kleber, although he didn’t score (he had 0/2 shots) after accumulating 14 rebounds and making 3 blocks in 28’49” attendance.

On the other hand, Jason Tatum’s 7/23 shots and Jalen Brown’s 6/16 shots were a big problem for Boston, who finished the game with 33/88 in the kid (37.5%).

THE TWELVE MINUTES: 20-18, 47-38, 73-76, 92-95.

BOSTON CELTICS: Dingwidi 18 (3/6 trebles, 5 rebounds, 4 assists), Finney-Smith 19 (4/7 trebles), Powell 4, Branson 14 (2), Doncic 26 (4/10 trebles, 8 rebounds, 8 assists), Clapper (0/2 shots, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks), Burke 2, Green 9 (1), Bertans 3 (1), Brown.

DALAS MAVERICS: Tatum 21 (3/10 three points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists), Horford 17 (1 three points, 6 rebounds), Williams 10 (7 rebounds), Brown 14 (2/7 three points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists), Smart 15 (1 threes, 7 rebounds, 4 assists), White 5 (0/4 threes), Williams 2, Pritchard 8 (2).

ADETOKUMBO: “Disrespectful. Don’t ask me this question”

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:

“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.

To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”

On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.

The most productive player of the match was Vembanyama, who brought 32 points to Spurs, but this did not help them achieve positive results. Jazz has 29 points from Markkanen and 28 points from George.

“Chicago” lost at home to “Milwaukee”, where Giannis Antetokounmpo returned.

The Bucks gained a minimal advantage in the first quarter and then gradually increased it, eventually winning all quarters of the match and winning with a score of 103:112.
