The Dallas Mavericks ( 24 - 10 ) defeated the Boston Celtics ( 11 - 19 ) 119 - 101 on Friday at the TD Garden in Boston . The Mavericks had a strong first quarter where they out - scored the Celtics 31 - 17 . With the strong start , they were able to use that momentum and coast through the rest of the game to finish with an 18 - point victory . The Mavericks out - rebounded the Celtices 53 - 38 , giving them a huge advantage in that category . That advantage may have given them just enough to steal the win on the road . The Mavericks were led by their backcourt of Rajon Rondo and Monta Ellis . Rondo had a very impressive game , going 12 - for - 19 from the field and 5 - for - 7 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 29 points . He also added six rebounds and five assists . It was far and away his best game so far with the Mavericks and it just so happened to be against his former team in Boston . Ellis on the other hand went 8 - for - 17 from the floor and 2 - for - 3 from beyond the arc to finish with 22 points . He 's now averaging 21 points and 5 assists per game on the season . Dirk Nowitzki had a solid all - around game . He recorded 17 points ( 7 - 19 FG , 0 - 2 3Pt , 3 - 3 FT ) , seven rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes of action . After a poor shooting night on Tuesday against the Wizards , it was good to see him get back on track . Chandler Parsons also reached double figures with 13 points ( 4 - 9 FG , 2 - 4 3Pt , 3 - 4 FT ) and seven rebounds . Avery Bradley did most of the damage for the Celtics . He went 9 - for - 20 from the floor and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 22 points . He 's only averaging 12 points per game thus far in the season , so it was a nice surprise for the Celtics to receive this kind of scoring output from Bradley . Jeff Green also did his part on the offensive side of the ball . He went 7 - for - 15 from the field and 2 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 18 points . After Rondo was sent to the Mavericks in a trade , Green has been one of the players relied upon to make up for his scoring production . Posting his third double - double of the season , Tyler Zeller recorded 17 points and 10 rebounds . It was an impressive line for him as he was in a very tough matchup with Tyson Chandler . Jared Sullinger was the only other Celtic in double figures , as he finished with 12 points in 34 minutes . The Mavericks ' next game will be on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday , while the Celtics will travel to Chicago to play the Bulls on Saturday .
