Celtics star Brown credits guard for 2-0 Finals lead after Jrue nets team-high 26 pts

BOSTON CELEBRATE HOLIDAY SPIRIT

Although he considers himself part of the supporting cast, Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday looked like a star on June 9.

He racked up team highs in points with 26 and rebounds with 11, leading Boston to a 105-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals.

The Celtics now lead the best-of seven series 2-0, with Game 3 set for June 12 in Dallas.

"I'm a utility guy. I'll do whatever. I'm here to win," said Holiday, who went 11-for-14 from the field. "I feel like they brought me here to win, and I'll do my best to do that. But at the end of the day, this is (Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown's) team.

"And I know it's probably just as much my team as theirs, but... the pressure that they have on themselves to execute and to be great is a little bit different than my pressure."

Brown and Tatum were still very much in the picture on June 9.
