Despite a slow start in the earlier games, Tatum rallied impressively in Game 5, delivering a near triple-double with 31 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds.
However, it was Brown’s consistent excellence throughout the series that ultimately secured his MVP accolade.
Boston’s journey to the championship was dominant, highlighted by a 10-game winning streak extending back to their second-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Their lone stumble came in Game 4 against a resurgent Mavericks led by Luka Dončić, who claimed a convincing victory to avoid a sweep.
However, the Celtics swiftly regrouped, sealing their victory in front of a jubilant home crowd at TD Garden.
The win not only secured their long-awaited championship but also solidified Jaylen Brown’s stellar performance as the 2024 NBA Finals MVP.
