C M Y K brink in NBA playoffs NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jrue Holiday’s postseason produc- tion is providing Pelicans All-Star Anthony Davis with a more comfortable margin for error — and has left Portland with pre- cious little. Holiday’s 54 points, 16 assists and slew of defensive suc- cesses in the fi rst two games are big reasons why the sixth-seeded Pelicans hold a surprising 2-0 series lead over the third-seeded Trail Blazers as they prepare for Game 3 Thursday night in New Orleans. “Playoff Jrue, I guess,” Davis quipped after Holiday scored 33 — including a late, deep 3-pointer — in the Pelicans’ Game 2 triumph in Portland on Tuesday night. “He’s in a different mode.” Philadelphia visits Miami in one of two other Game 3s on FILE - In this March 27, 2013, le photo, sits in front of pictures, panitings Thursday night, while the Spurs’ return to San Antonio after a pair and trophies highlighting his storied career as a wrestler and weightli er, at his home in his North of double-digit losses at defending champion Golden State.

Holiday helped preserve New Orleans’ Game 1 victory with a leaping steal in transition during the fi nal minutes, followed by a block in the fi nal seconds. Those plays were prime examples of FIFA Council member why Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry has asserted Holiday is one of the best two-way players in the NBA. “We ask him to guard the best perimeter player and we ask him to do it while we’re also wanting him to get 20 points,” Gentry Constant Omari said, noting that Holiday has had to take turns guarding both mem- bers of Portland’s prolifi c starting backcourt, guards Damian Lil- lard and C.J. McCollum. “He can get to the basket against just about anybody that there is. His outside shot has really improved,” Gentry added. “He’s arrested for corruption very confi dent in what he’s doing and the way he’s playing.” TRAIL BLAZERS AT PELICANS New Orleans leads 2-0.

Now, the connection extends He was the consultant to (AP Photo/Eric Gay, File) to family. He married Angela Greg Norman in designing the AT&T Oaks Course at the TPC San Antonio, which will be used for the ninth straight year at the Texas Open. Garcia played that fi rst year and broke par only once while tying for 45th. Now he’s back to compete against a fi eld that includes Adam Scott, Ernie Els and defending champion Kevin Chappell. Also in the fi eld is Joaquin Niemann of Chile, the No. 1 amateur in the world who makes his pro debut this week at 19 — the same as Garcia when the Spaniard turned pro. “It doesn’t feel that long ago I was in that situation and I was looking up to my idols and my role models in golf and trying to learn anything I could from them,” Garcia said. “So it is fun, and it’s an honor, to be in the other side of a situation. He’s a great kid. Obviously, he’s got a lot of talent. I think he can do a lot of beautiful things out there on the golf course.” Both missed the cut at the Masters, and Garcia can point to one hole. He was a few feet away from his 6-iron into the par-5 15th going up the ridge to about 15 feet. Instead, it rolled back down into the water.

Garcia wound up with a 13 — the highest score ever recorded at No. 15 at Augusta National — and shot 81. By then, his hopes of making the cut as the defending Masters champion were all but gone. So are the memories. He has been around golf too long, good days and bad, to let something like that linger. “At the end of the day, you’ve got to realize that sometimes it happens. Sometimes it goes the wrong way, and without doing much wrong, it can happen,” he said. “But you learn from it and you move forward and try to be better.”
