In a thrilling NBA matchup aired on ESPN, the Boston Celtics emerged victorious over the Dallas Mavericks with a final score of 125-112 on November 23, 2022. The game was a high-scoring affair, with both teams showcasing their offensive prowess.

The Celtics were led by their star duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who combined for 62 points. Tatum led the scoring with 37 points, while Brown added 25. The Mavericks' top scorer was Luka Dončić, who put up a valiant effort with 33 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Celtics' offensive onslaught.

The Celtics also had a strong performance on the boards, outrebounding the Mavericks 54-37. Robert Williams III was a force in the paint for Boston, grabbing 18 rebounds and blocking 3 shots.

With this victory, the Celtics improve their record to 13-3, while the Mavericks fall to 9-7. The Celtics will look to continue their winning ways when they face the Milwaukee Bucks on November 25th, while the Mavericks will try to bounce back against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 26th.
