The Boston Celtics emerged victorious in the intense Game 1 of the NBA Finals series against the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 107-89. Celtics guard Jrue Holiday performed admirably, scoring 12 points, dishing out five assists, and grabbing eight rebounds in his 38 minutes on the court. In a recent interview with SiriusXM NBA Radio, Holiday shed light on what sets the Celtics’ offense apart. He highlighted the presence of five to six All-Stars on the team’s roster as a rare and exceptional asset. He also believed that such a lineup could lead to great success for any team.
“I think, to have potentially five or six All-Stars on your roster at some point in their careers is maybe even unheard of…in kind of peak-ish parts of their careers literally in one year. So, our talent is like any given night; anybody can go off.” Holiday said.
