Boston Celtics point guard opens up about crushing defeat at home to another big favorite for the league title
This past Saturday, the 27th, the Los Angeles Clippers achieved an overwhelming victory over the Boston Celticsin full TD Garden. The expectation of a good game between the two best teams in the NBA currently it ended up not being confirmed, with practically a “monologue” from the team at California. Disappointed, the shipowner Jrue Holiday vented about the defeat, recognizing rival dominance.
“Man, all I can say is that it was a beating. I don’t think we were superior in any aspect in today’s game. So we just didn’t deserve better luck. Rebounds, transition, contested balls, they did all of that better than us. Today, we have always been one step behind. They destroyed us”said the shipowner, in an interview with the journalist Jared Weissfrom “The Athletic”.

“It’s difficult, because at the beginning of the game we had chances. We built some plays, and we had open shots that we generally didn’t miss. However, these small frustrations are important in a game like this. In attack, we didn’t get it right and that definitely impacts our defense. But that’s about it, you have to have the confidence to keep trying to find those shots. So, there were more errors than a lack of execution itself”continued.
Even with chances created, the point guard was harsh in defining the defeat, stating that it was humiliating. “Of course, we were humiliated. This is how we have to treat this. We cannot allow them to come to our home and defeat us in this way. But moments like this happen in a season as long as the NBA. So it’s like I said. Accepting defeat like this is not normal, and we will learn from this so that it doesn’t happen again. Let’s focus on responding in the next game.”Holiday said.
The loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Kawhi Leonard It is Paul George was the second worst for Jrue Holiday’s Boston Celtics and Jayson Tatum in the 2023/24 season. The 19 point drop was only overcome by the 33 point difference applied by Milwaukee Bucks on January 11th.
