Boston Celtics vs Toronto Raptors: Three Stars of the night
2 Stars Winner- Al Horford
Big Al Horford takes home the 2-star award of the night for his big-time shot making and scorching hot performance from deep. Horford knocked down 3 three-point shots on his way to 24 points and 7 rebounds on the night. He also shot an absurdly efficient 9-12 from the field.
He threw down some pretty tasty jams, like this one late in the 3rd period.
Horford was all over the place late in the contest, pouring in 7 points in the final 4:39 seconds to help seal the deal for the C’s. His ability to knock down the long ball really helped Boston spread the floor tonight and get easy looks at the basket.
Tonight was just another reminder that Horford on a good day can really be an x-factor on not just the defensive end but offensively, as well. Keeping the big guy healthy for the remainder of the season will play a significant role in how successful the Celtics will be come playoff time.
