Doncic best player on the court. No doubt about it.

Luka is something else.

Mavs are now playing more aggressive defense (fouling like the Celtics were to start the game). Refs aren't calling it against them like they did in the first half.

Da fuq?

haha wow sorry my stream way behind it's actually a game now! Boston's lack of killer instinct might still be a thing...

Down to single digits, Luka with a three from Hartford.

**** man those two missed wide open 3s from Kyrie are killer. Still plentyyyyyyy of time though. Keep it going.

We have a game.

Win or lose, this is going to be huge for the Mavs.

First time of the season they are hurting Boston.

A Dallas run was expected. But such offensive collapse, well... yes we're unfortunately used to this. Live by the 3, die by the 3

Zinger bodied by Luka in the post and gets it deflected.

Mavs slowed it down to a grind.

CS need a jolt of energy.

Okay Boston, your turn to respond. Mavs message is that they are not going away this game (and this series). Show them that you deserve to be the #1 team this season.

Damn man we have a game. Celtics finally cooled down from 3

I definitely prefer the slowed down game to the boring spamming of 3s lol

A big lead is never safe with these Celtics

Celtics chucking 3’s left and right and bricking all of them. Terrible basketball. And playing right into the Mavs’ hands. They’re serving up this game to Dallas on a silver platter right now.

Agreed.

Neither one of them is animated enough to bring any excitement. They talk over the game, too.

I knew Mavs would make a game of it, all you need to do is keep punching the Celtics in the mouth and they will eventually cough up a big lead.

It is why I had issues with them not facing any real threats coming into this match up. Dallas has battled to this point and that lead was never going to deter them.

I just don't know if Boston is ready for the kind of rock fights we saw in the West. They need to wake up fast.

Who wins Game 1?
