Derrick White took over for the Celtics in the third quarter, a welcome sight following his rough outing Thursday.

Derrick White took over the Boston Celtics win against the Dallas Mavericks with a 16-point third quarter. The slump-snapping performance helped Boston bounce back from a 117-96 drubbing at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday,

White's 16-point, highest-scoring quarter of the season aided Boston in a 122-107 road win over the Dallas Mavericks.

The Boston Celtics will be taking on the Dallas Mavericks for the first time since the two sides met in the NBA Finals last season. Boston defeated Dallas in the playoff series, winning their 18th championship in franchise history.

On a team full of star players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White has emerged as one of the key pieces for the Boston Celtics.

As Derrick White goes, so do the Celtics. Chris Forsberg highlights how closely tied Boston's success is to White's play on the court.

Jayson Tatum scored 24 points, Derrick White added 23, including Boston’s first 11 of the third quarter, and the Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks 122-107 on Saturday night in the first meeting between the teams since the NBA Finals.

Boston has had some issues making adjustments when the starting lineup is out there. Specifically, Derrick White has performed poorly. The Celtics guard has put up some stinker performances. In their most recent loss to the Celtics, White had just six points on 2-9 shooting.

The Celtics need to execute better, especially during fourth-quarter possessions. They also need to sharpen up on offense and defense.

Kristaps Porzingis scored 26 of his season-high 34 points in the first half, and the Boston Celtics coasted to a 122-100 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
