2025 NBA Finals Game 1: Celtics Dominate Mavericks in Opening Statement Win
The 2025 NBA Finals tipped off with a statement performance from the Boston Celtics, who crushed the Dallas Mavericks 107–89 in Game 1 at TD Garden. Fueled by suffocating defense and balanced offense, Boston now holds a 1–0 series lead in their quest for an 18th championship banner.

Jrue Holiday: The Unsung Hero
While Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 38 points, it was veteran guard Jrue Holiday who emerged as the night’s biggest X-factor. Holiday scored 12 of his 26 points in the first quarter, setting the tone early. He added 11 rebounds and 3 assists in a near-flawless performance on both ends of the floor. His smart decision-making and relentless defense helped neutralize Dallas' backcourt threats.
Dallas Struggles to Find Rhythm
Despite a double-double from Luka Dončić (30 points, 10 rebounds), the Mavericks couldn't get into a flow offensively. Kyrie Irving, who entered the game with a 10–0 record against the Celtics in his career, had a night to forget. He managed just 12 points on 6-of-19 shooting and missed all five of his three-point attempts.
Dallas also shot a dismal 7-of-27 from beyond the arc (26%) and recorded only 9 assists as a team — the fewest in a Finals game since 1969.

Boston's Defense Makes the Difference
What truly separated the Celtics was their defense. They closed out hard on shooters, contested nearly every shot, and forced the Mavericks into isolation-heavy possessions. Boston's ability to switch across positions and their physicality in the paint left Dallas with few answers.
Al Horford provided stability in the starting lineup in place of the injured Kristaps Porziņģis, while Derrick White continued his impressive postseason with impactful plays on both ends.
What's Next?
Game 2 will take place in Boston before the series shifts to Dallas for Games 3 and 4. The Mavericks will need to make serious adjustments — both tactically and mentally — if they want to avoid falling into a 0–2 hole.
