Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday was one of the heroes in the Bucks’ Game 1 victory over Miami, but befitting his position, he was quick to distribute the credit to one of his teammates.
With less than a minute remaining in overtime, Duncan Robinson missed a 3-point attempt short off the front of the rim. The ball ricocheted toward the top of the key, where Holiday darted in from the back side of the play. He promptly snatched the rebound and jetted down the floor for a lay-in to give the Bucks a three-point lead with 39.5 seconds left.
When asked about the play after the game, Holiday didn’t immediately go to weaving through the defense or his instinctive understanding of where the ball would go. Instead, he thought about his starting backcourt mate, Donte DiVincenzo.
