A Any questions surrounding the Boston Celtics' ability to seal the deal should be eradicated.

A For a team often mislabeled as one that crumbles in the clutch, Boston poetically put a stamp on Wednesday's win by proving the opposite.

A In Game 3 of the NBA Finals, they put those clutch demons to rest in the fourth quarter and walked the Mavericks to the brink of elimination.

After imposing their will and taking a 21-point lead with 11:07 left in the game, the Celtics got a bit too comfortable. They started settling for contested jumpers and dribbling into traffic, which led to live-ball turnovers and a stagnant offense. They scored just two points in eight minutes, bringing back all of the memories from last year's droughts and meltdowns in the East Finals.

Dallas stormed back with a 22-2 run, trimming the deficit to one with roughly three and a half minutes remaining.

It was up to Boston to piece together one last surge. Given how devastating and, frankly, embarrassing it would've been to choke away Game 3, it's not hyperbole to suggest that the fourth quarter could've swung the Finals.
