Holland had some moments earlier in the year when he showed flashes of being an enforcer-type of player. When it comes to chippy play, Holland has embraced it more than anything.

On Sunday, he was much more than a high-energy defensive presence. Holland was efficient on offense and aggressive as always everywhere else.

In 36 minutes of action, Holland shot 10-14 from the field. He also knocked down five of his 11 shots from the charity stripe. Holland had a team-high 26 points, along with six assists and five rebounds.

The Pistons ended up putting down the Pelicans for the second and final time this month. With a 136-130 victory, Holland and the Pistons advanced to 40-32 on the year. They help themselves in the fight for a top-five seed, as they sit comfortably in sixth place.

Along with feeling good about a likely playoff-berth, the Pistons can feel positive about their rookie, Ron Holland. Prior to the standout game, Holland has appeared in 71 games for a postseason-hungry Pistons team. He has averaged six points, three rebounds, and one steal in an average of 15 minutes of action.
