BOSTON — The one-man wrecking crew that is Mavericks sensation Luka Doncic shot and weaved and Eurostepped his way to another jaw-dropping performance, and another triple-double, against a championship contender on Friday night.

That same championship contender, the supernova that has been the Boston Celtics this season, made Doncic’s feats of wizardry a nonentity, as it did its wrecking as a collective unit, one that nailed three after three after three to make another definitive statement about its readiness for postseason glory.

The Celtics turned their winning streak into a perfect 10 after demolishing the Dallas Mavericks 138-110 inside TD Garden on Friday night. Four of Boston’s five starters — Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Jayson Tatum — made at least three three-pointers on the night.

So much for the Celtics having to adjust to a possible new way to win games after the Philadelphia 76ers forced Boston into 5-for-22 shooting from three and made the Celtics put the ball on the floor to try and win games. It was business, and bombs away, as usual, even more commonplace than the incessant boos that Kyrie Irving receives when getting a touch of the ball at his old stomping grounds.
