The Boston Celtics, behind a huge return from Kristaps Porzingis, have jumped out in front early in the NBA Finals.
The Celtics, who broke open a nearly 29-point lead in the first half, cruised to a dominant 107-89 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night at TD Garden. The Celtics have now won eight straight games, and they've won every single Game 1 they've played so far this postseason.
