Here’s Portland Trail Blazers veteran Jrue Holiday on the importance of Deni Avdija during Wednesday’s 121-119 home win vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder (26 points/10 rebounds/9 assists/2 steals/1 block/5-17 FG/1-5 3-PT/15-16 FT/+6 +/-).
*set career-highs in FTM and FTA*
(via Portland Trail Blazers):
“Deni’s always important to us. I think the way that he pushes tempo, the way that he gets down into the paint and gets to the free throw line helps us out, gets us in the bonus. I think tonight he had nine assists, so he’s making plays for everybody else. So I think he (did) tonight, especially getting us into rhythm, getting us wide open shots, and doing a little bit of everything.”
