Luka playing great and Mavs are down by 20+... Mavs' role players are so outgunned, none of them can create their own offense outside of Kyrie, and he's been absolutely horrific today. Cut it down to 8 on Luka's greatness, and it's already back to 20.
This Mavs team is much improved, but it's still shocking Luka carried this team to a Finals. They're still a move or two away from being a perennial favorite.
Bench production is the story of this game. It’s really nothing more than that. Porzingis got hot and Mavs bench (plus Kyrie) are cold.
Celtics took away the lob too. Will be interesting to see game 2 adjustments.

Remember two years ago when the Celtics won Game 1 due to outlier Horford and three point shooting performances and the Boston homers thought every game was gonna go that way?
