Jrue Holiday isn’t feeling 100 percent as he recovers from a pinky finger injury.

Nevertheless, he played one of his best games of the season on the road against the Heat on Friday.

Holiday’s 25 points were not only a season-high, but also his most scored as a Celtic. He shot 5-for-8 from three-point range, which tied his season-high, logged four rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and one steal.

Those numbers helped the Celtics clinch the playoffs (plus an Atlanta Hawks loss) with a 103-91 win over the Miami Heat.

Holiday first appeared on Boston’s injury report with right hand mallet finger at the end of last month.
