Jaylen Brown’s thunderous dunk felt like the nail in the NBA Finals coffin for the Mavericks

As if it weren’t already obvious, the Boston Celtics look like they’re going to win the 2024 NBA Finals.

Barring a stunning Dallas Mavericks comeback, the Celtics have had the Mavs’ number this entire series. That was as evident as it has ever been in this NBA Finals on this truly astounding Jaylen Brown dunk for Boston.

The dunk came with the sheer force of will from a team that has asserted its dominance through three games over Dallas.

If the Celtics indeed hold onto their 3-0 series lead and win the title, this feels like it was the exclamation point. If the Mavericks let this kind of moment happen in their home stadium, there’s really not much else they can to do get back into the series.

You could feel the ground shake under you with the power of that dunk. If Boston keeps the foot on the gas, this really is the Celtics’ series to lose.
