We hesitated with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, brilliant against Dallas, but Jrue Holiday (34 points at 13/22, 12 assists and 4 steals) was huge to help the Bucks stay undefeated against the Hawks.
He especially took over Trae Young, yet author of 42 points, in the “money time” of the match.
“That’s Jrue’s strength – he’s so selfless, he always thinks of others and sometimes we have to encourage him to be aggressive”recalled his coach, Mike Budenholzer. “Tonight he found what worked. And he also distributed 12 assists. It’s not just 34 points but also 12 assists and defensively I thought he was really good. It was one of his special nights. »
Not in phase with his shoot since the start of the season (31% success), he finally settled the target against the Hawks, who offered him spaces, especially after the screens on the pick-and-roll.
Still undefeated against teams that include his two brothers
And if he let Giannis Antetokounmpo shine in the second half, or served Brook Lopez, he was the one who killed the game with a “floater” 23 seconds from the end. Before stealing a last ball from Trae Young.
Enough to allow him to remain undefeated (6-0) against teams that include his two brothers, Aaron and Justin.
“These games are always special – but we want to win. We try to get on the pitch and make sure we win the game, but being on the pitch together, whenever we can, there’s nothing like it.”assures Justin, completed by Aaron: “Obviously we want to win, but at the end of the day it’s probably the most fun game we’ve played. »
Opposite, Jrue Holiday also wants to take advantage of these moments.
“It’s really special. It’s a blessing and we don’t take it for granted. To be able to be on the court at the same time, especially for me who don’t have many years left in the NBA, I think that’s good to see, I still want to be on the court and cherish those moments. » he thus concluded.
