“Anybody but Jrue.”
That’s what Jazz coach Will Hardy told Collin Sexton Tuesday night after the guard called for a screen that allowed Jrue Holiday to switch and become the on-ball defender.
The play occurred deep in the fourth quarter following a Celtics run that left the Jazz lagging 113-93 with just five minutes on the clock. Sexton, who was matched up against Xavier Tillman, was meant to find a lane and drive to the basket, taking advantage of his speed.
Sexton, however, paused at the top of the arc and called on John Collins for a screen that unleashed a dogged Holiday on the ball.
