“It’s about team for them. You can see that with the ball movement,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said after Boston’s win over Dallas. “They’re not worried about who is shooting it.”
It’s obvious to the Mavericks coach, it’s obvious to the Celtics coach, and it’s obvious to anyone who watches — this Celtics group plays team basketball. The Celtics finished with 33 assists to the Mavericks’ 20, with Derrick White (8 assists), Jrue Holiday (7 assists) and Jaylen Brown (5 assists) leading the way.
The 138-110 demolition of the Mavs marked the 10th consecutive win for Boston.
