After being beaten 107-89 in the first game, the Dallas Mavericks showed more fight against the Boston Celtics but still lost, 105-98 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday.

Luka Doncic got off to a fast start, but the Celtics defense suppressed him in the second half to lead 2-0.

Jayson Tatum had another rough shooting night, finishing with 18 points at a 6-for-22 clip, but had nine rebounds and 12 assists. Jrue Holiday carried the scoring sticks with 26 points and added 11 rebounds along with stellar defensive play against Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
