No team in NBA history has won as many championships as the Boston Celtics, who added their 18th banner and broke the tie with the rival Los Angeles Lakers with Monday's commanding 106-88 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals at TD Garden.
Tatum was spectacular with 31 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds and two steals, while Brown added 21 points, eight rebounds, six assists and two steals.
Just when it looked like things couldn't get worse for the Mavericks, Payton Pritchard drained a half-court shot at the buzzer to give the Celtics a 21-point halftime lead.
They couldn't match Tatum, who was the best player on the floor for extended stretches and continued to show a willingness to facilitate.
