BOSTON -- Sa 89-107 kabiguan sa Celtics sa Game One ng NBA Finals ay nagtala ang Dallas Mavericks ng siyam na assists.
Ito rin ang lowest-scoring outing ng Dallas sa postseason.
“We’ve got to move the ball,” wika ni Mavs coach Jason Kidd. “The ball just stuck too much. And we’ll be better in Game 2.”
Tagumpay ang Celtics, ang second-ranked defensive team ngayong season, sa paglimita kina Luka Doncic at Kyrie Irving kahit walang double-team.
Tumapos si Doncic na may 30 points mula sa masamang 12-of-26 field goal shooting, habang may 12 points si Irving galing sa 6-of-19 field goal shooting.
“They mostly play one-on-one,” ani Doncic sa depensa ng Boston. “They don’t send a lot of help. So that’s why.”
