BOSTON — This moment is exactly why the Boston Celtics went out and got Jrue Holiday.
When president of basketball operations Brad Stevens and the rest of the front office sat down after last season to piece together their next steps following Boston’s Eastern Conference finals loss to Miami, a question hovered over them.
For the defensive-minded Holiday, whose defense limited Kyrie Irving, combined with a 26-point,11-rebound effort helped Boston salvage its 105-98 Game 2 victory, it’s the latest example that he is where he is meant to be. A No. 3 scoring option in Milwaukee behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton during the Bucks’ 2020-21 championship season, Holiday has accepted being the fourth or fifth option in Boston. His 12.5 points per game average this regular season was the lowest since his rookie season.
“I think when you sacrifice together and you do something together, it brings you closer,” he said. “I think being able to go through wins and losses and to build something, it means a lot. … From 1 to 15, somebody’s sacrificed something.”
