The Boston Celtics point guard Derrick White dribbled the ball down court to all-star player Jayson Tatum with one second remaining in the first quarter. Tatum hammered the ball through the hoop and clung on the rim.
The Town MV in Edgartown was packed as the Celtics, behind by only one point after falling behind by 13 points just minutes into the game, were fully back in the contest.
The Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals last night, and both Islanders and visitors flocked to pubs and restaurants to witness the boys in green take a step closer to their record-breaking 18th NBA title.
As he watched the game at Edgartown’s Wharf Pub, Everett Hazelton told the Gazette, “I don’t know how they could lose.” “They only need to go on with their current activities. Nothing is weak about it. It’s absurd. They’re amazing.
For the evening’s celebrations, Camilla Tamargo, a waiter at the Town, donned a Celtics jersey. She said that the Town’s game night was often rather energetic.
“We get a good group of people; it’s our regular crowd plus a few extras,” she said. Both Dylan Maulucci and Stephan Sha, employees of the Edgartown Golf Club, were watching the game in the Town with colleagues; according to them, it was a typical Wednesday night event.
Mr. Sha, a Beijing native and devoted Lakers fan, claimed to have the Celtics covered as long as he was in New England. Buffalo, New York resident Mr. Maulucci claimed to have been a Celtics supporter since he was a little child and promised that the club will win game three—that is, if Jayson Tatum, the team’s main player, could perform well.
Bill Camarda remarked at the Wharf that he had only been on the Island for a few days and that he had came out on Wednesday night to see the game.
As long as the Celtics didn’t “get in their own head and play down to the competition,” Mr. Camarda said that he was a fan.
Following the Celtics’ comeback victory against the Mavericks in game one, Mr. Camarda said that his faith had been renewed.
“The ancient Celtics would have given in… I thought, ‘We can accomplish this,’” Mr. Camarda said.
He said the Celtics will defeat the Mavericks 4–0.
The Celtics continued their touch-and-go style of play in Game 3. The Celtics fluctuated between commanding leads and dangerous underperformances the whole evening. They had a comfortable lead going into the fourth quarter, but they scored only two points for seven and a half of that period, allowing the Mavericks to overcome a 20-point deficit with just one free throw.
However, Mr. Camarda’s confidence was well-founded, as the Celtics won 106–99 to end the game.
Ben Williams, an Islander, was sure the Celtics would sweep the series.
Mr. Williams said, “We’re too hungry and too deep of a team to let it go.”
“2024—it’s calling,” as Mr. Hazelton put it.
