The Celtics finished their road trip 3-1 after knocking off the Mavericks on Saturday night behind a big third quarter from Derrick White.

Derrick White took over for the Celtics in the third quarter, a welcome sight following his rough outing Thursday.

The Boston Celtics will be taking on the Dallas Mavericks for the first time since the two sides met in the NBA Finals last season. Boston defeated Dallas in the playoff series, winning their 18th championship in franchise history.

On a team full of star players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White has emerged as one of the key pieces for the Boston Celtics.

Jayson Tatum scored 24 points, Derrick White added 23, including Boston’s first 11 of the third quarter, and the Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks 122-107 on Saturday night in the first meeting between the teams since the NBA Finals.

White's 16-point, highest-scoring quarter of the season aided Boston in a 122-107 road win over the Dallas Mavericks.

They're the reigning NBA champions, but some members of the Boston Celtics could take a lesson or two on local geography. During a first quarter timeout of last night's game against the Chicago Bulls, the video board at TD Garden showed several members of the Celtics attempting to pronounce the word "Worcester."

The Celtics need to execute better, especially during fourth-quarter possessions. They also need to sharpen up on offense and defense.

Kristaps Porzingis looked all the way back as the Celtics blew out the shorthanded Bulls 122-100 at TD Garden.

Kristaps Porzingis scored 26 of his season-high 34 points in the first half, and the Boston Celtics coasted to a 122-100 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
