Al Horford getting back to normal

Al Horford has been dealing with an ailing knee all season, something he and the Celtics have managed cautiously. It seems as though Horford is getting back to playing like himself. His defense is trending back to where it was a year ago, and his shooting stroke has regained its consistency.

Over the last two games, Horford has scored 42 points and has shot 17-22 from the field. It’ll be no secret if the Celtics finally solve their consistency issue while Horford progresses towards 100 percent health.
