The Celtics have been miserable without Al Horford.
Al Horford saves the Celtics on both ends in return from concussion
The $113 million man hit the game-winning shot and came up with the game-sealing defensive play.
Horford, who joined the team on a four-year, $113 contract this summer, hadn’t been on the floor since he suffered a concussion on Oct. 30 in practice. Naturally, Boston was ecstatic to have its prized free agent back on the floor.
Little did they know, he’d come through with the game on the line ... twice.
On Saturday, Horford’s tip-in gave his Celtics a two-point lead over the Detroit Pistons with just 1.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
He then sealed the deal with a block on Aron Baynes’ attempt to tie the game with an elbow jump shot.
Horford drilled two of three three-point attempts, finishing with 18 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals. It’s no wonder Boston was 4-5 without him.
