Jrue Holiday News: Drops team-high 29 in Game 3 loss
Holiday notched 29 points (12-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and four steals in 41 minutes during Friday's 120-108 loss to San Antonio in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The veteran guard led the Blazers in scoring on the night, but it wasn't enough to pick up a win even with Victor Wembanyama (concussion) sidelined for the visitors. Holiday is averaging a whopping 38.7 minutes a game to begin the series, with the 35-year-old turning that workload into averages of 18.0 points, 8.3 assists, 5.0 boards, 2.7 threes and 2.0 steals per contest, and he'll likely be leaned on heavily again in Game 4 on Sunday.
