Mavericks vs Celtics Preview: Closing out a road back-to-back
The Dallas Mavericks (7-6) stumble into Massachusetts on Sunday evening to play the Boston Celtics (10-2) on the second night of a back-to-back. On Saturday evening, the Mavericks elected to play little defense against a Cleveland Cavaliers team resting a big chunk of their rotation and were run up and down the court all evening. Boston comes into this game refreshed, having not played since Wednesday where they held off the Toronto Raptors to close out a four game road stretch.
The Mavericks come into this one needing something but face off against a team that is red hot, winning five in a row and only losing two times this season.
