Dallas Mavericks Struggle with Three-Point Shooting in NBA Finals Against Celtics

Aside from their star point guard Luka Doncic, the Dallas Mavericks have struggled to find their three-point shooting rhythm in the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics.According to Bleacher Report’s Instagram post on Tuesday, citing Basketball Reference, Doncic is the only Maverick who has made multiple three-pointers in the first two games of the series. This could explain why the Mavericks are trailing 2-0 in the series. For context, Dallas shot 38.6 percent from beyond the arc in the Western Conference Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves and 39.7 percent in the semifinals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.Returning to Dallas for Game 3 might help the Mavericks regain their shooting form. According to Martin, they have shot 38 percent from three-point range at home this postseason compared to 34.7 percent on the road.
