Jrue Holiday scored a career-high 51 points against the Indiana Pacers in one the NBA’s highest-scoring games this season, 149-136. The often overlooked and underrated Milwaukee Bucks starting point guard is averaging 19 ppg, 5.0 rpg and 7.3 apg for the season.
Holiday was hot from the get-go and ended up making 20 field goals throughout the game, making just three 3-pointers along the way.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was also hot as he torched the Pacers with 38 points, 17 rebounds, and 12 assists, which included a monster dunk over Indiana center Jalen Smith.
The Bucks are currently the number one seed in the east and they are actively trying to secure home-court advantage throughout this year’s playoffs at the end of the season.
The Pacers were led by sensational rookie Ben Mathurin, who scored 29 points in the loss.
