Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's renowned manager, was in attendance at the NBA Finals game between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks at TD Garden in Boston. Guardiola, donning a black Celtics hoodie and white cap, showed his support for the home team.
This appearance is not unexpected, given Guardiola's well-documented interest in basketball and his admiration for Celtics' head coach Joe Mazzulla. Mazzulla has publicly praised Guardiola, calling him "the best coach at any level, in any sport" and citing his influence on his own coaching style.
Guardiola's visit to the NBA Finals game highlights his passion for sports and his desire to learn from top coaches across disciplines. His presence also underscores the growing connection between soccer and basketball, as coaches and teams increasingly seek inspiration and insight from each other.
The Celtics secured a 107-89 victory, with Kristaps Porzingis leading the charge with 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. Despite a strong performance from Luka Doncic, who finished with 30 points and 10 rebounds, the Mavericks struggled to find their rhythm.
With this win, the Celtics take a 1-0 lead in the series, setting the stage for an exciting matchup in the next game.
