India's stunning victory over Pakistan at the T20 World Cup 2024 has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. The highly anticipated match between the two arch-rivals lived up to its hype as India emerged victorious in a thrilling contest that went down to the wire. This victory will go down in history as one of India's greatest triumphs in cricket.
The Indian team showcased exceptional skill and determination throughout the match, with standout performances from key players such as Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. Their strategic gameplay and strong teamwork were crucial in securing the win against a formidable Pakistani side.
Holiday had 26 points and 11 rebounds, and White sprinted down the court to swat away the Mavericks’ last chance on Sunday night as Boston beat Dallas 105-98 to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals.
Tatum made up for a rough shooting night with 12 assists and nine rebounds to go with his 18 points. Brown scored 21 with three steals, White had 18 points and three steals, and Peyton Pritchard’s only basket of the game was a banked half-courter to beat the third quarter buzzer and give Boston an 83-74 lead.
The Celtics, though, have so many players who can make a difference. Tatum, Holiday and Jaylen Brown are a formidable trio. Porzingis, who seemed to pick up another injury late in a storyline to watch over the next few days, is a steady player off the bench. And some random player can come through at any time – consider Payton Pritchard, whose one contribution to this game took place in about 3 seconds of taking an inbounds pass and racing up the court to hit from the NBA Finals logo, stealing back the momentum after a Dallas run.
Unlike their 107-89 victory in Game 1, when Boston went 7 for 15 from 3-point range in the first quarter to sprint to a 17-point lead, the Celtics missed their first eight attempts from long range on Sunday. Dallas led the entire first quarter.
Tatum was scoreless in the first and had only five at halftime, when he was still 0 for 3 from 3-point range. Boston was still just 5 for 30 from long distance when Pritchard banked in a half-courter at the third-quarter buzzer to give Boston an 83-74 lead.
That excited the crowd, which previously had spent most of its time serenading Irving with boos — and semi-vulgar chants. Before the game, the scoreboard showed Irving’s postgame quote from Game 1, where he said he thought the crowd would be louder.
In conclusion, this NBA Finals matchup between the Celtics and Mavericks was a testament to the skill and determination of both teams. The Celtics' victory is a reflection of their hard work and dedication throughout the season, solidifying their status as champions in this thrilling series.
