The Celtics built a strong lead early in this game , out - scoring the Mavericks 31 - 16 in the first quarter alone . With an eight - point lead heading into the fourth quarter , the Celtics had a chance to close it out , but the Mavericks took off on a 36 - 24 run in the end to secure the four - point victory on the road in Boston . The Mavericks were the superior shooters in this game , finishing at 51 percent from the field and 35 percent from the three - point line , while the Celtics went 41 percent from the field and just 31 percent from deep . Behind a strong performance from Dirk Nowitzki , the Mavericks won their fifth straight game , which gives them the third best record in the stacked Western Conference . Nowitzki finished with a game - high of 23 points ( 9 - 14 FG , 1 - 2 3Pt , 4 - 4 FT ) , 14 of which came in the first half , while also adding seven rebounds over 34 minutes . The 37 - year - old German has combined for 44 points and 13 rebounds over the last two games and is a big reason for the Mavericks continued success this season . Wes Matthews had one of his better scoring performances of the year . He posted 18 points and three assists over 33 minutes , despite shooting just 33 percent from the field . Matthews has really struggled with his shot of late , combining to shoot a dreadful 8 - of - 33 from the floor over his last three games . Matthews is a career 44 percent shooter from the field , though , so expect his numbers to increase moving forward . Zaza Pachulia chipped in with a 14 - point , 12 - rebound double - double as well . Despite coming off the bench for his third straight game following a minor calf injury , Avery Bradley still was able to have some decent production . In 31 minutes , he did a little bit of everything , recording 18 points ( 7 - 17 FG , 3 - 7 3Pt , 1 - 2 FT ) , six rebounds , three assists and four steals before fouling out late . The rebounds and steals were both season - highs for the guard , who could move back into the starting lineup as early as Friday . Starting in his place , Isaiah Thomas had a solid all - around showing . He finished with a team - high of 19 points ( 7 - 16 FG , 1 - 8 3Pt , 4 - 6 FT ) , to go along with six assists and three steals . Thomas had scored 20 points or more over the Cetlics ' last three games , all of which resulted in wins , but his production Wednesday was n't enough to keep the streak going . Jared Sullinger added a double - double with 18 points ( 7 - 19 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt , 3 - 4 FT ) and 12 rebounds over 30 minutes . The Celtics will remain at home to play the Brooklyn Nets on Friday , while the Mavericks will be at home against the Utah Jazz on Friday as well .
