Kristaps Porzingis was really happy to be back on the court and his play helped elevate the Boston Celtics to a Game 1 win over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, 107-89. Porzingis hadn’t stepped onto the basketball court since he was injured in the team’s series against the Miami Heat. He helped Boston jump out to a 22-point lead and get back into a rhythm in the third quarter when the Mavericks cut their deficit to eight points. Jaylen Brown, who helped lock down the Mavericks in the third quarter, finished with a team-high 22 points. The Mavericks failed to see their 3-pointers fall as Boston’s defense was stifling Dallas for most of the night.
