The Celtics had the full roster available for the first time this season, as Al Horford and Jae Crowder returned from injury and Marcus Smart was able to play through his sprained ankle. It made all the difference in a 94-92 Celtics victory. Horford made two game winning plays with a follow up shot to put Boston ahead and then blocking Aron Baynes’ last minute jumper to seal the victory.
Horford led the way with a line of 18 points on 7-12 shooting from the floor and 2-3 from three, 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals and three blocks.
