Boston dominated from the 3-point line and that was the major difference in the opening game of the series
Game 1 was close for all of about five minutes. Dallas led 15-14 early in the first quarter before Boston took off on a 23-5 run to close the quarter.
So all he did was score 11 points, starting with this mid-range post-up, grab 3 rebounds, and block 2 shots in the first quarter. Whatever they did to get him healthy clearly worked. Doncic was doing all he could in this game even if his teammates weren't giving him a ton of help, but more on that later.READ MORE: Watch: Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Narrates Dallas Mavericks NBA Finals Hype Video
Boston would close the quarter on a 14-2 run to push the lead back to 20 heading into the 4th, really killing any chance the Mavs had. Derrick White had a good game, as well, finishing with 15 points and 5 assists, Jrue Holiday added another 12 points and 5 assists, while Jayson Tatum was kind of just... there; 16 points on 6/16 shooting, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 6 turnovers. Dallas has to be happy with how they defended him, but they'll have to step up elsewhere.
