Boston Celtics were emphatic as they showed no mercy crushing the Mavs in the opening game of the best of seven series on Thursday night with a 89-107 win.

Jaylen Brown scored 22 points, with Latvian star Kristaps Porzingis back on court after missing ten games with the 28-year-old making an immediate impact off the bench adding 20 on his comeback.

The seven foot tall Porzingis had been sidelined since April 29, added six rebounds and three blocks in 21 minutes.

“Tonight was affirmation to myself that I’m pretty good,” Porzingis said jokingly. “I’m not perfect but I can play like this and I can add to this team.”

All eyes on Game 2

The Mavs and especially Kyrie Irving will look to bounce back on Sunday night at the TD Garden with the former Celtics player now 0-11 in his past 11 games against the Celtics, a losing streak that he is confident can be broken on Sunday.

“Just got to calm our nerves, poise our nerves a little bit and also just be aware of the environment that we’re in,” Irving said. “It’s going to be high intense from who we’re going against. It’s going to be very physical. Some things are going to be called, some things aren’t.
