The Boston Celtics clinched their 18th NBA championship with a decisive 106-88 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals. This victory, led by standout performances from Jayson Tatum and Finals MVP Jaylen Brown, marks the Celtics’ first title since 2008. Tatum contributed 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists, while Brown added 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists.

This win allows the Celtics to surpass the Los Angeles Lakers for the most championships in NBA history. Reflecting on the triumph, Tatum emphasized the significance of winning in front of the home crowd, especially after previous playoff disappointments.


Coach Joe Mazzulla made history as the youngest coach to win an NBA title since Bill Russell in 1969, and veteran Al Horford celebrated his first championship after 17 seasons. This championship adds to the Celtics’ storied legacy, joining the ranks of legends like Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and Paul Pierce.
