The Canadians’ top two players are ball-dominant, scoring guards. One of them is an NBA MVP candidate, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who simply could not get past Holiday on Wednesday night. He shot 3-of-10 and was harassed by the thicker, stronger Holiday on numerous possessions. Canada’s other big-name guard, Jamal Murray, shot 2-of-8. “Jrue was great,” Kerr said. “He’s one of the best defenders in the league. Not just on ball, but off ball. His help, his anticipation. But I thought that was one of the keys to the game, just the collective ball pressure that our guys had out there, and Jrue obviously leads the way in that regard.”
