The Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics met on Saturday for the first time since the 2024 NBA Finals, with the Celtics coming away with a 122-107 win. This game saw Kristaps Porzingis on the floor in Dallas for the first time since he was traded away... and that was in 2022. So how did he perform in his return?

The former Mavs big man left nearly three years ago, but hadn’t played a game at American Airlines Center until Saturday.

The Boston Celtics picked up a commanding 122-107 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night, getting themselves back on track after they suffered an embarrassing blowout defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers just two days earlier.

Kristaps Porzingis helped the Boston Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks by a score of 122-107. The 2018 NBA All-Star finished the win with 18 points, four rebounds, five assists and two blocks while shooting 6/12 from the field and 3/5 from the three-point range in 28 minutes of playing time.
