The Boston Celtics fell to the Dallas Mavericks, a rematch of the 2025 finals that saw the Celtics capture a coveted 18th NBA title. With the 127-120 loss, Boston's win streak ends at four games. The Celtics never really locked in for this one.

For the second time in two weeks, there is a rematch of last season’s NBA Finals, this time on Thursday, Feb. 6 with the Boston Celtics hosting the Dallas Mavericks at TD Garden in Boston.

The Celtics are 9-1 against the Mavericks in their past 10 games, the only loss coming in Game 4 of the NBA Finals last season.
