It’s game time! The Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks will face off in Game 4 of the 2024 NBA Finals at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Friday (June 14).
The game will broadcast live at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
Boston currently leads the series 3-0 after beating the Mavericks 106-99 on Wednesday. The Celtics could win the Championship after tonight’s game (no other NBA team has rebounded from a 3-0 deficit in the Finals) marking the teams first NBA Finals win since 2008. The Mavericks last won a championship in 2011.
“It really just comes down to I’ve been here before and I know what it feels like to lose and I never want to feel that again,” Celtics power forward Jayson Tatum told NBA TV after Wednesday’s win. Meanwhile, the Mavericks still have hope for Game 4. “It’s not over until it’s over,” Luka Doncic told reporters on Wednesday. “We just gotta believe.”
