The Celtics pick right up

Yet Dallas ain't dead

The Celtics pick right up

Boston 107, Dallas 89

Celtics lead Finals, 1-0

Turns out we have to be mighty precise to beat the major league C’s. Dallas knew this going into Game 1, a contest the Maverick starters were asked by their head coach to abandon midway through the fourth quarter.

At least Dallas thought it knew this. Now Dallas knows why Boston won seven more games than anyone else in the regular season.
