Keith Smith: In a few days Greg Monroe will join the Celtics big man mix. For one last game against the Hawks, the current trio showed they already pretty good.
Al Horford has his usual quietly effective night with 17 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Every once and a while Horford makes a really loud play and gets everyone out of their seats. However, most of the time he kills you with silent efficiency. Be it scoring the ball, finding shooters and cutters with on-time passes or setting some of the best screens in the game, Horford is a savant on offense.
