Celtics' Al Horford: Posts strong stat line, despite missing game winner

Horford posted 21 points (9-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, six rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes in Monday's 106-107 loss at Houston.

Analysis:

Horford's last second layup attempt would have won it for Boston, but the shot bounced too high off the glass and missed. Still, the dynamic play of Horford and Isaiah Thomas kept this a tight game throughout. This was a strong bounce-back game for Horford after a modest showing at Philadelphia. Horford's 22 shot attempts were a season-high.
