Ends season on sour note
Holiday supplied eight points (3-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Holiday couldn't find the bottom of the basket in the Game 5 loss. He made a decent contribution in secondary categories, but the backcourt combo of Holiday and Scoot Henderson was anemic in the scoring column. Holiday is still under contract with Portland for another year, so he's expected to return to the team and continue with the first unit. Over 53 regular-season games, Holiday averaged 16.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

Drops team-high 29 in Game 3 loss
Holiday notched 29 points (12-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and four steals in 41 minutes during Friday's 120-108 loss to San Antonio in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Analysis
The veteran guard led the Blazers in scoring on the night, but it wasn't enough to pick up a win even with Victor Wembanyama (concussion) sidelined for the visitors. Holiday is averaging a whopping 38.7 minutes a game to begin the series, with the 35-year-old turning that workload into averages of 18.0 points, 8.3 assists, 5.0 boards, 2.7 threes and 2.0 steals per contest, and he'll likely be leaned on heavily again in Game 4 on Sunday.
