The Boston Celtics’ fans were left reeling after a crushing 122-84 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4, as the defeat shattered their expectations of a clean sweep. The frustration was palpable, and it boiled over into an ugly fight between two fans in TD Garden.
The altercation occurred after three-quarters of action, when the Celtics had already seemingly accepted their loss. Boston coach Joe Mazzulla had emptied his bench, signaling that the game was all but over. Soon after that, a younger fan was spotted showing his frustration at an older fan. He continued to rain down punches on the older fan. It took the intervention of security to finally separate the two.

The fight occurred while the Mavericks, led by WCF MVP Luka Doncic, continued to play one of their best games. Dallas took a commanding 61-35 lead into halftime and never looked back, ultimately winning by a whopping 38 points. The loss marked the Celtics’ first road defeat this postseason since May 9.
While other Boston fans were able to keep their cool, the night would undoubtedly be an unforgettable one for them. The loss was a harsh reminder that the road to the NBA championship is never easy, and that even the best teams can have off nights.
For the Celtics, the focus now shifts to Game 5, where they will take the court in an effort to regain control of the series.
Celtics Fans Intimidate Mavericks Fans Before Game 4
After the Game 3 loss, Kyrie Irving had already hinted that they would come for Game 5. Nevertheless, the fans of the Boston Celtics took it lightly. Before Game 4, some Boston fans even gave a hard time to a Mavericks fan.
A pre-game video shows that a young fan was helpless in front of some toxic Boston fans. Though the fan was unguarded, he remained calm.
Meanwhile, Boston fans forgot the scenario of revenge of nature that ultimately fell heavily on them as Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving’ partnership turned the night in their favor. Doncic led all scorers with 29 points, and Irving added 21 points.
No NBA team has ever come back to win a series after trailing 0-3. Additionally, no team has ever won a series after suffering a 38+ point loss in a Finals game.
The Mavericks now will have to defeat the Celtics in four of the next five games to clinch their second trophy.
