Jrue Holiday made a pair of mistakes during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to Atlanta that were quite unlike the way he usually plays.
Holiday, who is in his 16th NBA season, is usually calm under pressure and makes smart decisions. At the end of regulation, his decision making helped fuel the Celtics’ spiral that allowed the Hawks to tie the game and send it into overtime.
The veteran guard caught a long pass from Jayson Tatum in the paint, and it looked like he had an opportunity for a layup. Instead, Holiday dribbled the ball out and threw an errant pass toward Jaylen Brown.
