Al Horford had himself a night against the Chicago Bulls. He ended the game with 23 points and 8 rebounds. Yet, it was his work from the perimeter that was most impressive. He shot 5-of-10 from deep, with four of those makes coming from the right corner.
Horford was also his usual self in terms of screening, creation and defense. He did, however, look more aggressive on the offensive end and continually found himself in space.
Having Horford in the weakside corner provides the Celtics with a reliable release valve. We know he can knock down his corner three’s at a high clip, and we know that he’s capable of driving baseline to attack closeouts.
