Big Al was hot in the first half, scoring 14 points from from 6-for-7 shooting.
But a refocused Cavalier defense shut down Horford in the second half, forcing
younger Celtics to attempt deep jumpers. Cleveland’s strategy worked as Boston
shot only 34 percent from the field. This post season, Horford was the lone
veteran leader on a Celtic squad missing Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. He’ll
return next year to a star studded roster with championship expectations.
