In the latest episode of No Cap Room, senior NBA reporter Jake Fischer provides live reporting from TD Garden following the Boston Celtics’ victory in game 1. Meanwhile, senior NBA writer Dan Devine shares his thoughts from the office about the game.
The discussion between Jake and Dan centers on the Celtics’ impressive performance, particularly their strong defense against key players such as Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. The impact of Kristaps Porzingis, who was seen as an “x-factor” leading up to the series, is also discussed. Porzingis played a significant role off the bench during the first quarter, helping secure a lead for the Celtics that they maintained throughout the game.
Sam Hauser exceeded expectations in game 1, while Maxi Kleber struggled with his reluctance to shoot the ball. Looking ahead to game 2, Jake and Dan discuss potential adjustments that could help the Mavericks compete with the Celtics before they move to Dallas for subsequent games.
