There were not a lot of bright spots in the Boston Celtics 115 – 83 home opener loss to the Toronto Raptors, but veteran big man Al Horford was absolutely one of them. Despite coming back from a recent stay in the league’s health and safety protocol after a positive COVID-19 test return, the University of Florida product turned in a very solid double-double in the loss.
Horford put up 11 points and as many boards with 2 assists and 4 (credited) blocks for good measure. And while there were definitely moments it looked like the veteran big needed a second wind, he was still one of the most active and engaged players on the court.
If you missed the game last night or just want another look at Horford’s game with the Celtics against the Raptors, watch the video embedded below courtesy of YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski.
