Pelicans shootaround update presented by HUB International NOLA would love to see repeat performances from Nikola Mirotic help defense
The Blazers star has just two points on 0-of-8 shooting with Holiday guarding him this series, per ESPN.
Rondo put the finishing touches on the win by hitting a dagger 3-pointer in the corner the put the Pelicans up 108-100 with 38.9 seconds left.
Down five at halftime, New Orleans came back and built a lead during a 33-19 third quarter that would ultimately help them win the game.
Several times during the three days between the New Orleans Pelicans' Game 1 road win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday and their next matchup Tuesday, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry was asked if he anxious his team would be complacent after stealing home-court advantage in the series. While Dame and C.J. have shot under 50% in both games this series, Holiday has played efficiently, connecting on 54.5% of his shots while also competing admirably on defense.
NOLA's shooting guard Jrue Holiday led all scorers with 33 points (playoff career high).
Though Davis was his usual double-double self (22 points, 13 rebounds) and Rajon Rondo finished an assist away from a triple-double (16 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists) in another strong playoff performance, this night belonged to Holiday.
In the final encounter of the regular season between the Trail Blazers and Pelicans, Damian Lillard dropped 41 points en route to a Trail Blazers 107-103 victory.

Trimas Corp (NASDAQ:TRS) Institutional Investors Sentiment
Investors will commonly use Williams %R in conjunction with other trend indicators to help spot possible stock turning points. Zacks Investment Research lowered TriMas from a "buy" rating to a "hold" rating in a research report on Tuesday, March 20th.
"Coming into the playoffs, you know teams are going to lock in and they're going to try to make the game hard for you", he said. "Give credit to what they did defensively". I've obviously had the opportunity to coach Steph (Curry), Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Grant Hill. "It's as simple as that", he added. It seemed like Holiday was first to every loose ball, with two plays in particular in the fourth quarter. Those 15 rebounds marked a new playoff career best.
Things turned around for Portland come the second period, with the Blazers guards becoming more aggressive to the rack, especially with Davis resting on the bench.
In his sixth National Basketball Association season, Harkless played in 59 games for the Blazers in the regular season, starting 37, and averaged 6.5 points and 2.7 rebounds. But in the second half, the Pelicans slowly took control as the guards clamped down and pushed New Orleans to victory. "We just need to get more people in the stands in New Orleans". "This is a must-win". Why not go get another one?' The half finished with Aminu going wild, scoring 12 points and adding nine rebounds while shooting 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. He scored 11 points, connecting on all five of his shots.
"I think we're feeling good". The tickets are sold but we just can't get them there all of the time. But we have to do the same thing (on Tuesday).
The Blazers, who were bounced in the first round last season, are the team the most under pressure in this series. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. on NBC Sports Northwest and NBATV, with the radio call on NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 AM.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Removed from the turbulence that marked his previous seasons in New Orleans, Jrue Holiday is in a good place - and it shows.
Lillard had 17 points and four assists in another disappointing effort.
