Celtics Dominate Mavericks in Game 1

Thrashing in Game 1 Sets Stage for Commanding Lead

Dominant Third Quarter Span Leads to 2-0 Series Advantage

After a relentless thrashing in Game 1, the Boston Celtics are poised to take a commanding lead over the Dallas Mavericks. A dominant 2-minute span in the third quarter proved pivotal, as the Celtics pulled away for a 2-0 series lead.

With the Mavericks trailing 3-1, the Celtics are on the cusp of history. No team has ever successfully rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win an NBA playoff series.

Fueled by an unquenchable thirst for their 18th franchise championship, the Celtics dominated the Mavericks in Game 1. Kristaps Porziņģis' impressive return provided a spark, but it was not enough to prevent the Celtics from asserting their dominance.

As the series shifts to Dallas for Game 3, the Mavericks must dig deep and find a way to turn the tide. The Celtics, however, are confident and determined to close out the series on their home court.
