Jaylen Brown named MVP after defeating Dallas in NBA Finals
On the 18th, when Boston won the National Basketball Association (NBA) championship for the 18th time, team owner Wick Groesbeck (center) is holding up the championship trophy. This is the second win for owner Groesbeck, who took over the club in 2002, following the 2007-2008 season. Except for Jrue Holiday, who won in Milwaukee in the 2020-2021 season, all Boston players won for the first time since their debuts.
Boston regained its title as the sole team with the most wins in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Boston defeated Dallas 106-88 in Game 5 of the 2023-2024 NBA Finals (4 wins out of 7) held at home on the 18th. With this victory, Boston recorded a series record of 4 wins and 1 loss, lifting its 18th championship trophy.
Boston recorded its 17th home win on June 18, 2008, exactly 16 years ago. At the time, it was the sole record for first place in this category, three times ahead of the second-place LA Lakers. However, the two teams were tied for first place until last season, as the Lakers won three times in the 15 years that Boston never won.
The Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) went to Jaylen Brown (28). Brown, who averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists in the finals, said, “I want to share the honor of this award with my brother Jayson Tatum (26).” Tatum led the team to victory that day with 31 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists. “I feel like I’ve won the world,” Tatum said. “I’m really happy because it took so long.” 메이저사이트
Brown was selected by Boston with the 3rd overall pick in the 2016-2017 season and Tatum in the 2017-2018 season. Game 5 of this finals was the 107th playoff (PO) game in which the two players played together. In NBA history, there has never been a combination that played so many PO games without winning a single trophy.
Coach Joe Mazula (36), who became Boston's official head coach starting this season, became the youngest NBA winning coach since Bill Russell (35 years old at the time), who won as Boston's 'Playing Coach' in the 1968-1969 season. Coach Majula smiled and said, “There is nothing better in basketball than being a part of the history of the team called Boston.”
Dallas lost Games 1 to 3 in a row, but won 122-84 in Game 4, dreaming of the first 'reverse sweep' in NBA Finals history. The 38-point victory was the third-highest record in NBA Finals history. However, Dallas had to give up the championship trophy without ever taking the lead that day. Boston is the 24th team this season to win games 1 to 3 in a row in the NBA Finals, and all 24 teams ended up winning. In Dallas, Luka Doncic (25) played with 28 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, but it was not enough to prevent the loss. Doncic, who took painkillers throughout the series, said, “It doesn’t matter how much it hurts as long as I can go on the court. “He tried, but it just wasn’t enough,” he said regretfully. 안사이트전 슬롯
