It was a tremendous game for both stars, but in the final minutes, Boston's Tatum (who finished with a tremendous statistical streak of 37 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists) excelled, leading his team to victory.
The Celtics prove once again this season, that they can once again go all the way in the league.
Luka finished with 42 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds, but his team dropped to a 1:5 away record.
Boston already led by 27 in the third quarter, before Dallas scored 13 of the game's next 15 points.
For the Celtics, Jaylen Brown added 31 points, for Dallas, an excellent game by Christian Wood with 26 did not help Jason Kidd.
Toronto - Brooklyn 112:98
Kyrie Irving scored 19 of his 29 points in the third quarter, Nick Claxton scored 14 points and 12 rebounds and the Brooklyn Nets beat the underdog Toronto Raptors 112:98.

Toronto held Kevin Durant to 12 points, but still lost to the Nets for the fifth time in seven meetings after winning 21 of the previous 25.
Durant scored his 26,074th career point in the third quarter, passing Kevin Garnett (26,071) for 18th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
Royce O'Neal hit five 3-pointers and scored 15 points, and Ben Simmons had 14 for the Nets, who bounced back from Tuesday's loss at Philadelphia, which was missing Joel Embiid and James Harden.
Brooklyn has won three of four games, including two of three since Irving returned from his suspension for tweeting a link to an anti-Semitic movie.
