‘Swiss Army knife’ Jrue Holiday steps up in Celtics’ win over Nets

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Boston Celtics rolled out a lineup of Neemias Queta, Jordan Walsh, Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard, and Jrue Holiday, during a key stretch of their win over the Brooklyn Nets.

The Cs found themselves down a basket to the visitors on a night where scoring wasn’t going as well as usual.

Holiday, the 15-year veteran, took charge and either scored or assisted on each of Boston’s first three buckets of the frame. Though he isn’t always asked to be an initiator on offense for the Celtics, he looked more than ready to do so when his number was called.
