Boston's Dominant First Quarter Sets Tone for Blowout Victory
Celtics Take Commanding Lead in NBA Finals
The Boston Celtics extended their lead in the NBA Finals on Monday, dominating the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 to take a 67-46 lead into halftime. The Celtics closed out the first quarter on a 9-0 run, setting the tone for a lopsided affair.
Kyrie Irving, who has been a key player for the Celtics throughout the playoffs, was held in check by the Mavericks' defense. Porzingis also made an impact, sinking a short jumper over Irving in the first quarter.
The Celtics' victory brings them one step closer to winning their first NBA title since 2008. The Mavericks, meanwhile, face an uphill battle to avoid a sweep in the Finals.
