Luka Doncic, a Dallas Mavericks player, set a negative record in his team’s loss in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics.
Luka Doncic was the standout performer for his team. He scored 30 points and added 10 rebounds. However, what’s interesting is that he only recorded one assist, which is the lowest in his playoff career.
The reason also lies in the very poor three-point shooting percentages of the Dallas Mavericks, as the Texans were accurate from beyond the arc only seven out of 27 attempts.
Such a percentage didn’t even surpass 26 percent, so it’s clear what caused the team of Jason Kidd to lose the opening clash in the battle for the title.
Leading in misses was Kyrie Irving. The playmaker of the Dallas Mavericks managed to score only six times out of 19 attempts from the field, which was a complete underperformance. Especially considering how efficient he was in the previous part of the playoffs.
Now, Doncic and the team will have a new task, to secure a “break” in the second game and thus get into the series, which could quickly slip away from them if they repeat such a performance.
