Al Horford turns back the clock vs Cleveland: 22 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks
Al Horford was at the ripe age of 37 years old on the night of game five vs the Cleveland Cavaliers. There was a chance to close the series and get some much-needed rest heading into the Eastern Conference Finals. The big man was spectacular whether it was splashing the nets on open threes, making timely reads with his passing, setting screens, snacking up rebounds, or playing stifling defense. He would finish with 22 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks on 53% shooting and six made treys on 46% from beyond the arc.
Big Al did this all without any free throws.
The annual hallmark Horford playoff masterclass happened and the Cavs were the unfortunate victims. Keep in mind this was a close-out game too which makes it all the more legendary. We have to sit back and appreciate greatness because there are not any players his age who are capable of a performance like this.
