Porzingis’ return was a major storyline, as he hadn’t played since Game 4 of the first round against Miami. His performance boosted the Celtics, who stuck to their eight-man rotation and dominated the 3-point line, outscoring Dallas by 27 points from deep.
Luka Doncic led Dallas with 30 points and 10 rebounds, but the Mavericks struggled with only eight assists and 11 turnovers. Former Celtic Kyrie Irving had a tough game, scoring 12 points on 6-for-19 shooting.
Porzingis’ return and performance were key to Boston’s strong start in their quest for an 18th NBA championship.
