The game also featured a glorious return of Kristaps Porzingis who missed the Celtics' previous 10 games.

Xavier Tillman's wife Tamia previously made bold promise ahead of NBA Finals

Tamia Tillman is very confident of the Celtics and believes that the team can pull off a sweep in the 2024 NBA Finals against the Mavericks. She previously promised to break into a dance if the Celtics are able to pull off a sweep.

Ahead of the ongoing NBA Finals, Tamia took to Instagram to reshare a video of fans practicing their celebratory dance for when the Celtics pull off a sweep.

"I ain't gone lie we pull off a sweep & yall gone see me breakdancing on the court on national TV during the celebration 🤣😭🤣," Tamia captioned her story.
