Is Al Horford Taking Too Many Three-Pointers?

There is little doubt that center Al Horford has played an integral part in the Boston Celtics morphing into one of the most dynamic ball-moving offensive squads in the NBA. His passing skills and ability to find teammates off of the dribble has been a catalyst in Boston’s effectiveness in garnering buckets off of assists. His wizardry passing the rock was underlined in Wednesday night’s 117-106 defeat at the hands of the Knicks, as Horford dished out a season-high 10 assists, his highest dime total of the season. This impressive effort increased Horford’s assist rate per 36 minutes to a career-best 5.
