✍️ The Memphis Grizzlies used an unconventional defensive strategy against the Boston Celtics, targeting Jrue Holiday with a center and hoping he misses his open 3-pointers.
👉 The Grizzlies used a center to guard Jrue Holiday, who is the weakest 3-point shooter among the Celtics' core perimeter players. 👉 The strategy was inspired by the Warriors' use of a center to guard Tony Allen in the 2015 playoffs. 👉 The Grizzlies' approach worked in a single game, but it's unclear if it will be effective in a longer series. 👉 The Celtics' roster is different from the Warriors' in the 2015 playoffs, with multiple 3-point threats. 👉 The Grizzlies' strategy is an attempt to find a weakness in the Celtics' offense, but it's unclear if it will be effective.
