BOSTON — The Celtics are three wins away from another NBA title.

After a long break, Boston put on a dominant display in Game 1 of the NBA Finals to take a 1-0 lead over Dallas. The Celtics led by as many as 29 points in the first half and held off a second-half Mavericks rally to earn the victory.

Boston’s victory was sparked by Kristaps Porzingis, who, in his first action in over a month, scored 20 points in a reserve role. The Celtics were led by 22 points from Jaylen Brown while Jayson Tatum scored 16 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out five assists.

For Dallas, Luka Doncic led the way with 30 points and 10 rebounds, but the five-time All-Star was limited to just one assist. Kyrie Irving struggled mightily, scoring 12 points on 6-of-19 shooting from the field.

Final: Celtics 107, Mavericks 89

10:53 p.m.: The first game ends in Boston.

The Celtics took advantage of a big first half to build a cushion and thwarted a second-half rally to get the job done to open the series. These teams will be back in Game 2 on Sunday.

10:38 p.m.: It was all Celtics in this one and fans can sense a 1-0 series lead on the horizon.

Time out on the floor, Boston leads by 25 and an ovation at TD Garden sums up the evening.

Celtics 100, Mavericks 75

End of third quarter: Celtics 86, Mavericks 66

10:20 p.m.: After Dallas cut the deficit to single digits, Boston responded in dominant fashion to bring its lead back to 20 points.

Kristaps Porzingis had 20 points to lead the way for the Celtics while Jaylen Brown added 19 points. Jayson Tatum and Derrick White each scored 13 points each.

For Dallas, Luka Doncic leads the way with a game-high 27 points. Kyrie Irving struggled, scoring 12 points on 6-of-19 shooting in 30 minutes of action. PJ Washington is the only other Maverick in double figures with 10 points and seven rebounds.

10:14 p.m.: Boston responded and the crowd returned.

After some nervous energy filled the building, the Celtics scored eight straight points to cut the lead to 16. There were just under two minutes left in the third quarter.

Celtics 80, Mavericks 64

10:06 p.m.: The deficit is now less than 10%.

After trailing by 29 points in the first half, Dallas was down by just eight points thanks to a 3-pointer from Luka Doncic. Doncic has a game-high 27 points, while Boston only scored nine points in the third.

We have a good one on our hands.

Celtics 72, Mavericks 64

10:04 p.m.: It’s an 11-point game here in Boston.

A Kyrie Irving jumper brought his total to 12 points on the night and Dallas continued to win with over 16 minutes left in regulation.

Dallas is a little stunned at first. He is led by 17 points from Luka Doncic, who is 7 of 14 from the field and 2 of 6 from deep. No other Maverick has reached double figures.

The Mavs will need a strong start to the second half to get back into this one.

9:21 p.m.: Dallas has no answer for anything Boston is doing right now.

A Jaylen Brown steal leads to a transition dunk and an offensive foul leads to another easy bucket for Derrick White. On the possession that follows? Another Mavericks turnover. Then, a Jayson Tatum 3-pointer.

Luka Doncic converts a layup to stop the bleeding but Dallas trails by 27 with less than four minutes left in the half.

Celtics 58, Mavericks 31

9:15 p.m.: It’s Kristaps Porzingis’ night.

In his first action in over a month, Porzingis scored up to 15 points (on 6 of 8 shots), accompanied by three rebounds and two blocks. He did it all in 10 minutes of action.

Happy to see you again.

9:08 p.m.: Jaylen Brown. Good morning!

Brown submitted a contender for dunk of the night (series?) by hammering a one-handed slam against Dallas’ Daniel Gafford.

Continue the game.

Pre-match

8:30 p.m.: Same starting lineup for the Mavericks, who will be accompanied by Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones Jr., PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford.

It’s about that time.

8:12 p.m.: The Celtics came out to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” and the energy at TD Garden is on another level.

Boos rained down on the Mavericks, who also took the floor for pregame warmups.

We are getting closer and closer to denunciation.
