When Jrue Holiday clocks in for work tonight, he’ll lace up his sneakers and attempt to keep his team coherent against the most disruptive defense in the league. It will be on Holiday to see possibilities through seven-foot wingspans, to create options even as the ball is swarmed at every turn. Then, as a respite between scoring attempts, Holiday will unwind by matching Russell Westbrook, in all his fury, step for step. Should Westbrook rest, Holiday will chase Paul George or Dennis Schröder instead. There is no end in sight—only the endless cycle of stops and scores, carried out at one of the league’s fastest paces.
