Following Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Joe Viray, a tactical journalist, shared an analysis video explaining how the Boston Celtics successfully restricted the Dallas Mavericks to only three corner three-point attempts. This was due to their strategic decision not to over-rotate and their effective switching between two defensive strategies.

Joe Viray mentioned that while the Mavericks usually had 12% of their shots from corner threes during regular games, they managed just 3 in Game 1. This success was mainly attributed to the Celtics' smart rotations and strategic defense changes.
