Boston Celtics’ newest addition, Jrue Holiday, has quickly made an impact on the team. Holiday, who spent three seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks and won a championship with them in 2021, expressed his enjoyment in beating his former team during the Celtics’ opening night win over the Knicks. Despite his success with the Bucks, Holiday felt no extra emotions facing them and emphasized his love for his former teammates.
Holiday’s performance in the game was notable, as he made four 3-pointers and scored 21 points to help the Celtics secure their fourth-straight win of the season. He attributed the team’s success to their defensive efforts and the ability to create chaos on the court. Holiday also praised his teammates, including Jaylen Brown who scored a game-high 30 points and Payton Pritchard who tied a franchise record with eight threes off the bench.
The Celtics started the game slowly, missing their first seven shots, but eventually found their rhythm and secured a convincing victory. Holiday credited the team’s confidence and calm mindset for their success, mentioning that their composure on and off the court plays a significant role in their performance.
With Holiday’s experienced leadership and strong contributions on both ends of the floor, the Celtics seem poised for a successful season ahead. As they continue to build chemistry and improve their game, Holiday’s presence will undoubtedly be a key factor in their pursuit of championships.
