The Dallas Mavericks lost their third game in four on Friday. The Boston Celtics were too much for Jason Kidd’s team to contain. Boston’s array of shooting and defensive talent has seen them cement themselves as championship favorites. The game was a big test for the Mavericks, especially the backcourt pairing of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
Kidd took a thinly veiled shot at his team when speaking at his postgame news conference. He noted how Boston’s success is predicated on their willingness to work for each other.
“It’s a very rare thing in this league to see a team like that with five shooters,” Kidd said of the Celtics. “It’s about team for them. You can see that with the ball movement. They’re not worried about who is shooting it. A lot of times, the person shooting it is wide open.”
