Doncic scores 29 as Mavericks rout Celtics in Game 4

DALLAS — Luka Doncic scored 25 of his 29 points in the first half, Kyrie Irving added 21 points and the Dallas Mavericks emphatically extended their season on Friday (Saturday in Manila), fending off elimination by beating the Boston Celtics 122-84 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The Mavs' stars were done by the end of the third quarter, with good reason. It was all Dallas from the outset, the Mavs leading by 13 after one quarter, 26 at the half and by as many as 38 in the third before both sides emptied the benches.
