Thus far in this series, Luka Dončić has come under intense criticism for his defensive shortcomings.
The Slovenian tightened up that aspect of his game while continuing to play with his typical brilliance on offense, scoring 29 points—25 of which came in the first half—as his team defeated the opposition 122–84.

Because of how unfair the game was, both sides had benched the majority of their starters by the time the fourth quarter arrived.
The final margin of 38 points was the third-largest in NBA Finals history, only surpassed by Chicago's 96-54 victory over Utah in 1998 and the Celtics' 131-92 victory over the Lakers in 2008. In the fourth quarter, the Mavs had a 48-point lead at one point.
The Celtics' 10-game postseason winning streak, which was a franchise record, was broken by the loss, which was Boston's first in five weeks. Additionally, the team lost the opportunity to become the first team in NBA history to win both the conference finals and the finals in 4-0 sweeps.
For the Celtics, Jayson Tatum finished with 15 points, Sam Hauser with 14, Jaylen Brown with 10, and Jrue Holiday with 10. The Mavericks' Kyrie Irving scored twenty-one points and Dereck Lively pulled down twelve rebounds.

The Celtics will try to capture a record 18th NBA title when they play Game 5 of the series on Monday in Boston.
That task appears a little more difficult in light of Friday's performance.
