In one third-quarter sequence, Mavericks forward P.J. Washington Jr. looked at Jrue Holiday as he received a pass on the right elbow behind the 3-point line and decided not to contest.
It has not been the best shooting season for Holiday, but he has been shooting well enough of late that allowing him a completely open look was a mistake. Holiday swished the long-range jumper.
An essential for a Celtics championship run is sufficient offensive production from Holiday and backcourt mate Derrick White. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown can’t carry the entire load nightly, and Saturday at American Airlines Center, they didn’t have to.
Are the Celtics working through a championship hangover?
