Holiday played in 36 minutes in the Game 2 victory, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds and six assists. He actually looked spry as he showed that by rising for a rare dunk in Game 2. The C’s starter also changed the complexion of Game 1 when he put together a great stretch in the third quarter.

The Celtics persevered without Tatum in Game 2, but much of that was due to Brown's and Holiday's efforts. Fortunately, both Tatum and Brown have been upgraded to available, but Holiday has been ruled out.
