Where to buy Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks Game 5 NBA Finals tickets | Ticket prices, best deals, more
The Boston Celtics face the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, June 16, 2024, at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
Fans who want to purchase tickets to the games can do so via secondary ticket markets like StubHub, Vivid Seats, Ticketmaster and TicketSmarter.
Hereโs a recent NBA story from the AP:
DALLAS (AP) โ Kyrie Irvingโs personal 13-game losing streak against the Celtics is over.
Now itโs back to the parquet floor in Boston to face his former team again, the Dallas Mavericks still alive in the NBA Finals after avoiding a sweep with a 122-84 blowout in Game 4 on Friday night.
The first two road games in this series werenโt Irvingโs best, the two in Dallas quite a bit better despite a Game 3 loss that left the Mavs with a deficit no NBA team has overcome to win a playoff series.
Combine that with much more of an impact from the role players around Irving and co-star Luka Doncic, and maybe the constant booing of Irving from the jilted fans in Boston wonโt ring quite as loudly in Game 5 on Monday night.
Plenty of green-clad Celtics fans were planning a celebration in Texas, but the loud cheers early when the game was close didnโt last long.
โYou saw all those Celtics fans in there tonight. They travel in packs,โ said Irving, who spent two seasons in Boston. โWhen we go to Boston, thereโs going to be a bunch of them yelling a whole bunch of crazy stuff still, but I think weโve been able to grow and face kind of this adversity head on.
โWeโre figuring out each other in a crazy way during the highest stage of basketball,โ Irving said. โSo itโs a beautiful thing, but it also can be chaotic if you donโt know how to stay poised through it.โ
If the Mavericks are to become just the 12th of 157 teams to force a Game 6 after falling behind 3-0 โ and get the title series back to Dallas โ the supporting cast for Irving and Doncic will have to keep it up.
Dereck Lively II connected on a 3-pointer for the first time in his career โ exactly seven months after the the second of the two regular-season attempts from beyond the arc by the 7-foot-1 rookie center.
At one point in the second half, Lively had 12 rebounds, his final total, to 16 for Boston. No wonder Dallas outscored the Celtics 60-26 in the paint, where Lively scored the other eight of his 11 points.
Dante Exum hit two 3s and had another taken away when replay revealed he had stepped out of bounds. The buckets from deep were coming from so many Dallas players โ 14 of 23, although those numbers were skewed a bit by the blowout โ it didnโt matter that Doncic and Irving combined to go 1 of 14.
โItโs five people on the floor,โ Doncic said. โSo thatโs huge for us. Everybody played with a lot of energy. Thatโs how we got to do it. We got to think the same way in Game 5 in Boston.โ
Doncic scored 25 of his 29 points in the first half, while Irving had 10 of his 21 in the third quarter to help push a 26-point halftime lead to 38 before all starters were out of the game for good late in the third.
Livelyโs games in the finals have somewhat mirrored those of Irving, his fellow Duke alum. The 20-year-old was mostly quiet in Boston. The two games in Dallas put him in the company of Magic Johnson as the only rookies with consecutive double-doubles in the NBA Finals.
He replaced starter Daniel Gafford earlier than in any of the previous finals games, and coach Jason Kidd said Lively just happened to be in the right spot โ the right corner โ when he hit the 3 to put Dallas ahead for good about three minutes later.
Itโs unlikely Lively will start at this point โ something he did early in his rookie season โ but the crowd probably will notice when he heads to the scorerโs table for the first time back in Boston.
โIf they leave me open in the corner, Iโm going to get them up, for sure,โ Lively said. โItโs just having that trust. Luka is going to give me the ball. As soon as I shot it, he kind of jumped for joy when it went in.โ
Irving is still trying to find some joy in Boston, and he gets another chance this season.

Texas A&M SS Boston Kellner suffers orbital bone fracture
(KBTX) – Texas A&M shortstop Boston Kellner suffered a fractured orbital bone after he was hit in the face with a fastball in Friday nightโs series opener at Ole Miss, according to a team spokesperson.
He did not sustain a concussion, and there was no damage to his eye, a team spokesperson said.
The extent of the injury was first reported on the SEC Network+ broadcast.
The true freshman has been a starter for the Aggies since the beginning of the season, slashing .248/.432/.418. He has five home runs and 27 RBIs, typically batting at the bottom of the order. Defensively, he has a .928 fielding percentage.
Ben Royo entered in his place and was a key contributor early Saturday. The senior blasted a pair of home runs against Ole Miss on his first two hits of the season. He entered Saturdayโs first game with four at-bats this season.
A&M has struggled with injuries as of late. Chris Hacopian, who also could have been an option to fill in at shortstop, has been relegated to the designated-hitter role as he recovers from a leg injury suffered during the Florida series. Third baseman Nico Partida remains out with a pulled hamstring he sustained against Auburn.

What we know about wrong-way driver killed in head-on collision with state trooper in Lynnfield – The Boston Globe
Court records show that Marrero was the father of three children, the oldest of whom is 17. The youngest two children, twins, are 13 years old; Marreroโs death came days before their 14th birthday.
Records in Middlesex Probate and Family Court also suggest that Marrero faced financial difficulties and personal troubles, stemming in part from a work injury that family members said caused a bout of depression and deteriorating behavior in his personal life.
For nearly a decade, Marrero worked at Dewberry, a Boston engineering consulting firm, court records show, obtaining a job as an architectural design apprentice in 2005. He left the company in 2014, according to a company spokesperson.
Throughout that time, he doubled as a bartender on the side, working at Mexican restaurants in Boston and Waltham, court records show.
A knee injury ended Marreroโs career at Dewberry, court records show, and he left the company shortly thereafter.
That injury, according to court documents, was the catalyst for what his wife described as a โmajor depressive episode,โ which she said contributed to the strain in their marriage. The couple, who had been married for more than 20 years, separated in 2022.
Records also show that Marrero struggled with debts to family members and credit card companies. During his divorce proceedings, it was unclear how much money he was taking home in income.
Marrero briefly owned and operated a contracting business, 109 Construction, but the corporation was administratively dissolved in 2024, according to state filings.
Marrero had lived in US since at least 2001, holding legal status. He became a naturalized citizen in March 2021, court records show.
Social media posts suggest he was active in the tight-knit Venezuelan community in Massachusetts. Photos show him cheering on Venezuela at a World Baseball Classic watch party in Brighton earlier this year.
Court records appear to show Marreroโs interest in art and music, owning a Venezuelan guitar, conga drums, and several Venezuelan paintings, as well as homemade winemaking setup.
Marreroโs family could not be reached for comment. A close friend reached by the Globe declined to comment.
Trainor had just completed his shift at about 2 a.m. on Wednesday and was driving home when he responded to a report for a Jeep traveling south in the northbound lanes of Route 1, near the Lynnfield overpass.
Raised in Salem, Trainor began his public safety career as an Essex County correction officer before graduating from the State Police academy in 2023, State Police Colonel Geoffrey Noble said.
Trainorโs fiancรฉe, Jessica D. Ostrowski, of Georgetown, posted an emotional message to social media Thursday, describing the late trooper as โmy absolute best friend.โ
โI am beyond proud for the amount of love you have been given by those who loved and cared about you,โ she wrote.

Funding scandal-hit Croft schools in Boston to close this summer after all
Administrators at the Croft School, struggling after allegations of financial fraud, haven’t been able to find a buyer for its Boston locations, which will now close at the end of the school year, parents were told Friday.
Millions of dollars were raised by families and community members to keep the private school open for a few more months while Croft School administrators scrambled to find a buyer. But in Friday’s email, the chief restructuring officer and independent sale advisor said that two parties expressed interest but they ultimately had to pivot toward winding operations down.
“To be clear, the 2025-2026 school year will be completed based on the availability of parent funding. However, without a viable timetable for a transaction, we are faced with this difficult decision,” the email said.
About 350 students had attended the Croft School’s three campuses, two in Boston and one in Providence. Regular tuition starts at $31,000, according to the website.
Millions were raised to keep the private school open for a few more months but the Croft School is looking for a buyer as a long-term fix to its financial problems.
More than 60 families unenrolled from the South End campus over the weekend, the email said.
News of the debt crisis surprised parents in March, when the school’s board revealed in a letter that founding Executive Director Scott Given admitted to fabricating a letter of credit regarding a possible expansion and keeping two sets of books, overstating the school’s revenue while understating its expenses.
The discovery that the school was more than $13 million in debt came after police were alerted to possible fraud. The school has said it’s cooperating with multiple investigations involving Given, who has been suspended.
The private school, with two locations in Boston and one in Providence, requires $5 million to stay open for the rest of the schoolyear.
Given has been sued by at least one Boston parent, accusing him of running a Ponzi scheme. His legal team has said he has no comment.
Parents rallied to save the school, raising enough funds to keep classes going.
The officials in charge of the sale noted “how hard many of you worked to maintain The Croft School as you know it,” but added that the “difficult circumstances, uncertain financials and condensed timeframe made this a trying environment for purchasers to timely make a binding offer for the schools.”
