The Celtics beat the Heat 103-91 in one of the focal points of the NBA regular season. After the game, the Celtics coach Mazzulla accepted the media interview, and special comments on the team’s outstanding performance of Holiday.
Mazzula spoke highly of Holiday’s performance in the game, noting, “Holiday’s sacrifice on the offensive end doesn’t diminish his effort, which is often overlooked. He is indeed a player who is easily overlooked, but that is precisely because he is always willing to do whatever it takes to win and the good of the team. Tonight, he got the feel of the game early and I’m very happy for him. He showed great aggressiveness and, in doing so, further enhanced his team’s leadership. We are grateful to have a player like him, even though he does get overlooked at times.”
Holiday played 35 minutes and 18 seconds and shot 10 of 15 from the field, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range, to finish with 25 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks. It’s worth mentioning that the 25 points set a record for the most points in a regular-season game in Holiday’s career with the Celtics.
Holiday’s outstanding performance is not only reflected in the scoring but also in his ability to make an overall contribution to the team. His leadership and aggressiveness in the game contributed greatly to the Celtics’ victory. Mazzula’s comments also fully illustrate Holiday’s important position and role in the team, his sacrifice and contribution should not be ignored.
As the game goes on, the Celtics will continue to rely on the outstanding performance of Holiday and other players to bring more exciting games to the fans. We expect Holiday to continue to play well in the future and win more games for the Celtics.
