Celtics' Al Horford joins exclusive club with smooth rejection vs. Hornets

The Boston Celtics are taking on the Charlotte Hornets twice in a row to end the regular season. On Friday night, the two teams are facing off in the first contest of a two-game series. Early in the game, veteran center Al Horford accomplished a feat that put him in an exclusive club in the NBA.

In the opening seconds of the Hornets-Celtics game, Horford recorded a block after knocking Josh Okogie's three-point attempt out of bounds. The block was the 1,300th recorded block in Horford's career. He is now just the fourth player in league history to have 1,300 blocks and 900+ three-pointers made in a career.
