Philadelphia coach Eddie Jordan inserted rookie guard Jrue Holiday into the starting lineup on Monday night to pair him with Allen Iverson.

Jordan hoped that the pair would push the ball and it resulted in the 76ers' first win in 13 games.

"Allen and Jrue in the backcourt gives us solid, true guard play. Andre [Iguodala] gives us great defensive presence at the guard position, at any position, actually. To get real good guard play, it's good to have Jrue and Allen in there to start and have Thad at four," Jordan said.

"The object and the concept is to get those guys [Young and Iguodala] running the lane after a make or a miss, just sprint the lane and let either of the guards push. I like their decision-making. We have good, solid, playmaking guards."

With Holiday in the starting lineup, Elton Brand was moved to the bench.

"Just mostly about the small lineup," Jordan said. "Elton does a good job coming off the bench at five. I hate changing the lineup, I hate changing it a lot. I think you have to show some confidence in the people that you start."
