The Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 107-89, in Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals Presented by YouTube TV to take a 1-0 series lead. Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 22 points and 6 rebounds while Kristaps Porzingis (20 points (8-13 FG), 6 rebounds) and Jayson Tatum (16 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists) totaled 36 points. Luka Doncic led the Mavericks with 30 points and 10 rebounds while P.J. Washington (14 points, 8 rebounds) and Kyrie Irving (12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists) totaled 26 points.

In tonight’s game, the Celtics have 7 players with 2 or more 3PT FGs made. It marks the most players by an individual team with multiple 3PT FGs made in an NBA Finals game. Five teams have had 6 players with multiple 3PT FGs made previously, most recently the Miami Heat last year, on June 4, 2023, v Denver.

Kristaps Porzingis scored 18 points in the first half of Game 1 of the NBA Finals after having not played in both the Conf. Semifinals and Conf. Finals. It is the most points by a player in Game 1 of The Finals after having missed the previous two rounds since the league transitioned to a 16-team format in 1984.

Previously, the most points by a player who fit these qualifiers was 7 points, by Andre Iguodala (GSW v BOS on June 2, 2022).

Luka Doncic is just the 10th player to have a 30-point double-double in their NBA Finals debut. He’s the first to do so since Tim Duncan had 33 points and 16 rebounds in the 1999 NBA Finals on June 16, 1999.

Celtics needs to be consisted. Remember that dallas all throughout the playoffs (except wolves) lost on game 1 but dominate the entire series

Mavs down by about 20 after the first quarter. largest first quarter lead in nba finals history. mavs cut the lead down to 8. then end up still getting blown out. think was down by as much as 30
