Celtics Notes: Al Horford Shows How Valuable He Is In Win Over Cavaliers

Share this: BOSTON — If you looked at Al Horford’s stat line at halftime Wednesday, you probably would have guessed he was on his way to a fifth straight game of scoring under 10 points. That ended up being true in the Boston Celtics’ 103-99 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden, but it doesn’t tell the whole story of what Horford did in arguably the C’s biggest win of the season. Not even close. Horford finished the game with nine points, but seven of those came in the second half, and he was only one point shy of a triple-double with his 10 total rebounds and 10 assists. Oh, and don’t forget his stellar defense on Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers throughout the night. “Even at

The 25-year-old still is pretty new to the big leagues — he made his MLB debut and appeared in just seven games last season — so his mother apparently has been keeping a close eye on him. So when Asuaje was taken out of the game, which wasn’t televised,
