“I love him,†said Giannis.
“It’s not like I planned it out or anything,” Holiday said. “I just went after it; it was instinctual.”

“We’re in Boston, we’re down 14 in the fourth quarter and people would say that everything’s against us,” Holiday said. “But we come together. I feel like we’ve done that multiple times and we live and die by that. Having each other’s backs, just wrapping arms and going up there fighting — honestly, just leaving it on the line.”
