In the opener of an NBA Finals supposedly lacking drawing power, all but one of the many participating current, former and future stars met the moment on the game's biggest stage, including two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who exceeded expectations in his return from a scary hyperextended left knee.
One-time All-Star and reigning All-Defensive first-team selection Jrue Holiday admittedly "had a bad shooting night."
Beyond his 4-for-14 performance from the field, if Holiday does not narrow the gargantuan gap from Game 1 between himself and Suns star Chris Paul on both ends of the floor, this series is a wrap.
