NBA Finals: Celtics Crush Mavericks in Game 1
Boston Takes Early Series Lead
The Boston Celtics sent a thunderous message to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals opener, dominating their rivals 107-89 in Boston. The Celtics, looking to avenge last year's heartbreaking Finals loss to the Golden State Warriors, played with relentless intensity and precision.
Dominant Fourth Quarter
After a tightly contested first half, the Celtics exploded in the fourth quarter. Led by Jayson Tatum's 26 points and Marcus Smart's 24 points, Boston outscored Dallas 26-13 in the final period. The Celtics' suffocating defense forced numerous turnovers from the Mavericks, who shot just 38% from the field for the game.
The victory gives the Celtics a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 2 will be played in Dallas on Sunday.
