The matchup is ripe with storylines: Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Browns’ second trip to the Finals; arguably the best offensive backcourt of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving vs. a defensively decorated pair of guards in Derrick White and Jrue Holiday; Kyrie’s return to Boston and Kristaps Porzingis’ to Dallas; the veteran Al Horford vs. Dallas’ young and athletic frontcourt; and Joe Mazzulla coaching head-to-head against Jason Kidd.
