Holiday Scores 41 in Game 4 Victory

New Orleans Completes First-Round Sweep

In a thrilling Game 4, Jrue Holiday led the New Orleans Pelicans to a 131-123 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, completing a first-round sweep. Holiday poured in 41 points, including a crucial 3-pointer with 2:30 remaining to seal the win.

Holiday has been a key contributor for the Pelicans this season, averaging 21.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game. His performance in Game 4 was a testament to his determination and skill, as the Pelicans overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to secure the victory.

With the win, the Pelicans advance to the second round of the playoffs, where they will face the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers, led by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, will be a formidable opponent, but the Pelicans will look to build on their momentum from the first round.

Holiday's performance in Game 4 was particularly impressive considering his recent personal struggles. His wife, Lauren, underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor in September, and Holiday has been taking time off from basketball to support her. However, he has returned to the court with a renewed sense of purpose, and his dominant performance in Game 4 was a testament to his resilience.
