On Saturday, the Boston Celtics picked up a 117-107 victory against the Phoenix Suns. Jrue Holiday registered 15 points, six assists, and three rebounds.

As captured by CLNS Media, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla praised Holiday’s emotional stability on the court.

“When you watch him play, you can never tell if he has taken two shots, five shots, no shots, if he’s gotten scored on, if he’s not gotten scored on."

Mazzulla also commended Holiday’s approach on defense.

“The thing I liked about tonight is that he took ownership of the defense and recognized when to make the adjustment. His ability to just kinda stay the course is an underlying leadership quality for our team."

Boston's next game is scheduled for Monday, Mar. 11, against the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center; tip-off is at 10:30 p.m. EST.
