NEW YORK — When Jrue Holiday won his first NBA championship with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021, it wasn’t a seamless journey.
The Bucks trailed the Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals 0-2, and then again to the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals.
Both times, they responded.
In turn, Holiday secured a title.
Four years later, Holiday exudes undeniable confidence when discussing whether the Celtics can similarly come back from a 0-2 hole that has resulted from two consecutive fourth-quarter collapses against the New York Knicks.
