Boston were a win away from the NBA title – but Dallas did not give up so easily.

After a sparkling performance by Luka Doncic, Dallas won 122–84 and are thus still in the running.

It was win or bust for Dallas. The opposing team, Boston, had won the first three matches in the NBA final, which is played best of seven, and were one win away from victory.

Dallas dominated from the start, and the 38-point difference is the third largest ever in an NBA final.

Dallas star Luka Doncic scored 29 points, 25 of them in the first half of the match alone.

Boston have previously won the league 17 times, a record they share with Los Angeles. Dallas have won on one occasion, in 2011.
