Lakers’ 65-year-old franchise wound reopened by Celtics’ Game 3 win vs. Mavericks

That’s the first time the Celtics have been up 3-0 in the NBA Finals in a long time, per NBC Sports Celtics statistician Dick Lipe:

“Boston, for the first time in 65 years, have a 3-0 series lead in the Finals! The only other time in franchise history that happened was against the Minneapolis in 1959. The Celtics have won 10 straight playoff games overall and eight in a row on the road.”
