The Celtics' journey toward another championship depends significantly on Jrue Holiday's contributions. While reminiscing about last June's unforgettable moments, one highlight stands out: Holiday's pivotal steal against Indiana in the Eastern Conference finals, showcasing his elite defensive skills. This play, despite not being the talk of the town compared to Pritchard's buzzer-beater, encapsulates the type of pivotal moments necessary for a successful playoff run. As the team approaches crucial games, Holiday's ability to perform at a high level will be essential for achieving their goal of winning another title.
I think if you polled Celtics fans and asked them to cite their favorite single play from the postseason, the majority - perhaps a vast majority - would immediately say Payton Pritchard's buzzer-beating bomb... It brought on the loudest roar I've ever heard in the new Garden.
My vote for favorite single play of the championship run was Jrue Holiday's game-saving, I'll-be-taking-that-basketball-now steal from the Pacers' Andrew Nembhard in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
