Holiday moved the ball extremely well early in the game, but in a cruel bit of foreshadowing, his teammates couldn’t knock the looks down. His defense was spotty all night, but he and Davis came alive in the fourth quarter to bring the Pelicans within 8. During that run, Holiday scored from all over the floor and seemed to be in control.
If you just glance at the box score, you’d think Eric Gordon played a good game. After all, he put up 20 points. In the first half, though, he was absolutely dominated by CJ McCollum, who kick started the runaway.
