‘We just can’t keep taking him for granted’: Jayson Tatum praises Al Horford in win over Pacers

Kristaps Porzingis went down early on Saturday night, but Al Horford had no trouble filling in for him in the Celtics’ 118-101 win over the Indiana Pacers.

The 37-year-old big man made his impact everywhere, filling the stat sheet. He notched 10 points, six rebounds, three blocks, two steals, and a season-high eight assists in 30 minutes.

Horford is primarily coming off the bench this season due to Boston’s loaded lineup, but that hasn’t stopped him from performing at a high level while on the floor.

After the game, Jayson Tatum heaped praise onto Horford for both his performance and his impact on the Celtics as a whole.
