How much do tickets cost for the Mavericks - Celtics NBA Finals Game 5 in Boston?
The Boston Celtics are on the brink of a record, while the Dallas Mavericks are still in with a chance of making history.
The 2024 NBA Finals are relatively unusual in the sense that the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks both still have the chance to make history going into Game 5 of the series on Monday (17 June) at TD Garden in Massachusetts.
How can the Celtics make history in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals?
The Celtics may have missed out on the chance to sweep the Mavs following a heavy defeat in Dallas on Friday, but they need just one victory to take their first NBA Championship since 2008 and become the outright most decorated team in the history of the league.
As it stands, Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers are tied on 17 titles, although few are betting against the Celtics getting to 18 this year, despite their below-par performance in Game 4.
How can the Mavs make history in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals?
As for the Mavs, they have given themselves the opportunity to become the first team in NBA history to come back from 0-3 down to win a best-of-seven postseason series.
Four teams have previously forced a Game 7 but all went on to lose the decider. The New York Knicks are the only franchise to have done so in the NBA Finals themselves, but ultimately failed to complete a sensational turnaround against the Rochester Royals in 1951.
With all that it mind, it probably won’t come as a surprise to read that tickets for what could be the defining game of the season aren’t going cheap, although prices have dropped over the last 24 hours or so as tip-off approaches. As is generally the case, the day of the game (Monday) is expected to be the best time to snatch tickets at their best price.
