The Celtics from the opening three games of this series never made it into the building for Game 4, falling behind early and never recovering as Dallas steamrolled its way to a 122-84 victory to avoid a sweep.
"Ultimately, I felt like they were the better team tonight," Al Horford said. "We can say all these things about us. ... They played much better than us. They clearly outplayed us, and that's tough to take. But that's the reality."
The loss sends the Finals to a fifth game Monday night at TD Garden in Boston. Boston will now hope to put Dallas through the same thing, and celebrate raising an 18th championship banner to the TD Garden rafters.
