Celtics' Al Horford: Blocks four shots Wednesday

Horford contributed 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, and four blocks in a 122-117 win over the Nets in Wednesday's season opener.

Analysis:

Horford had a solid outing in his debut as a Celtic, as only Roy Hibbert of the Hornets had more blocks during the league's opening games. The 30-year-old center also fit well into coach Brad Stevens' offensive system, posting the second highest assist total of any Celtic player on the night. The four-time All Star is coming off of a season in which he averaged 15.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, so Horford will likely see his rebounding and point totals improve towards his career averages as he becomes more comfortable with his new team.
