The Celtics' bench also played a significant role, with Malcolm Brogdon and Grant Williams contributing 16 and 11 points, respectively.
The Celtics' victory marked their third consecutive win in the series and put them one game away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals. The Mavericks, on the other hand, must win the next game to force a Game 7.
