Jrue Holiday registered 16 points, eight rebounds, and five assists in the Celtics' Game 3 win vs. the Cavaliers. His aggressive approach wore down Donovan Mitchell, who mustered only three points in the final frame.

Jrue Holiday delivered one of his best performances as a Celtic in their 103-96 Game 3 win over the Cavaliers, moving Boston two wins from a third straight trip to the Eastern Conference Finals.

"I thought about being aggressive," said Holiday when discussing the importance of making Mitchell work at both ends of the floor. "You know Donovan's gonna be aggressive on one side of the ball, but to make him work on the other side because he's guarding me, and there were times where, rather than defer or do something , I just thought maybe attacking him might get him even more exhausted by the third or fourth quarter.

As for whether Holiday could tell his approach was working as Mitchell finally got fatigued in the fourth quarter, he conveyed, "Yeah, I felt like he was a little gassed. It's hard what he's doing. What he's doing is elite. To be able to put up that many points and so efficiently. "When he's being aggressive in that great rhythm, it makes us that much better. It just goes to the depth of our team – it's not always going to be the same guy every single night. It can be any number of us."
