The first game of The NBA Finals was set to be a tone-setter for both teams, and it certainly was. The Boston Celtics proved they are a capable team, while the Dallas Mavericks became painfully aware of their needed adjustments heading into Game 2.
As The NBA Finals made its way back to Boston for the second time in three seasons, it was on the Celtics to come up with a win and prove themselves against a tough Western Conference opponent.Their trip to the finals was easy. Dallas would embarass them ... anyone in the West would embarass them.
Mavericks star Luka Doncic dropped 30 points, 10 rebounds and a pair of blocks in his teams' road effort, but Kyrie Irving's struggle — Dallas' second star shot 6-19 and 0-5 from 3-point range — prevented them from putting together a performance like they had the rest of the playoffs as Boston ultimately came out with a blowout victory, 107-89.
But instead, it only got worse. By time the second quarter came and went, Boston had amassed a 21-point lead and kept Dallas completely shut down, only scoring 42 at the first-half buzzer.
