Who would have thought a 38-year-old not named LeBron would be the deciding factor in a massive (regular season) game between the Celtics and Cavaliers, let alone in a matchup against the only remaining undefeated team in the league coming into tonight?
In a battle between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, Al Horford made nearly every key play to help Boston come out victorious, and added a blemish to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ otherwise perfect record this season. Al’s impact really can’t be overstated. The guy just gets the job done when you need him most.
