Boston gets 31 points from Jayson Tatum and 30 from Jaylen Brown and can now complete a series sweep in Game 4 on Friday.

The Celtics take a 2-0 series lead into Dallas after Porzingis was injured in the third quarter of Game 2.

Jrue Holiday leads the way with 26 points and 11 rebounds, and Boston survives a poor shooting night to take a 105-98 win in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Sparked by the return of Kristaps Porzingis, Boston builds a 29-point lead in the first half and rolls to a 107-89 win.

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the Celtics are seeking redemption for losing in 2022, while Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving seek to prove the power of their partnership.

Porzingis hasn’t played since sustaining a strained calf in Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs.

Commentary: Luca Doncic and Jayson Tatum are the stars, but Boston could be in trouble if old friend Kyrie Irving is the third-best player in this series.

The team is hopeful that center Kristaps Porzingis will be able to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday against the Mavericks.

The duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving provide a solid 1-2 punch for Dallas and will be a challenge for Boston to defend.

The pair took some time to adjust to playing together but in Year 2 have led Dallas to the Western Conference title.
