Holiday’s Comeback Power-Up!…
HOLY SWISH, BATMAN! Jrue Holiday rolled back onto the hardwood like a basketball supernova sporting a snazzy new pair of Air Superheroes as he zapped 16 points into the hoopplanets of TD Garden! With the agility of a mongoose on a trampoline, he also snatched 6 rebounds and dished out 3 dessert-like assists. And get this, folks! He was the only Celtic player to shoot over 35%. The Knicks might have stolen the victory, 108-105, but Holiday left a DYNAMITE dent with his performance.
Jrue transformed into a Full-Court Jalen Tamer as he bottled up Knicks’ dynamo, Jalen Brunson, holding him to an action-flop 29 points. It was like watching a cat tackle a laser pointer on a caffeine spree! The man seized 5 of the glorious Celtics’ 12 offensive treasures, springboarding to his comeback chances. “No issues,” said Jrue with the confidence of a slam-dunking lion. “It was all gravy, baby—good to be back in the groove.”
But it wasn’t all sunshine and slam-dunks for the Celts, as they mourned the departure of Kristaps Porzingis due to a mysterious not-the-rona illness and Sam Hauser’s ankle doing the twist like it’s 1964! Jrue, gentle captain, reminded everyone of the Celts’ next-man-up wizardry, reminding them to channel their inner basketball sorcerers until the walking wounded are back on deck. “KP is big for us!” Jrue declared as he leapt back into battle mode, ready to face the next basketball showdown!
