WATCH: Al Horford turns back the clock with another emphatic dunk

by

The Boston Celtics may have dropped Game 5 at home to the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, but that doesn’t mean the night was a total downer for the Celtics. Despite a disappointing outcome, Boston had some extremely positive moments. Al Horford in particular was once again brilliant, and he continues to be a critical piece for the Celtics.

Perhaps no play captured the veteran big man’s remarkable 2022 playoffs like his huge put-back dunk late in the fourth quarter Wednesday night. It was a combination of veteran instincts and raw athleticism. At 35-years old, it was also, respectfully, pretty surprising.

Boston has work to do with Game 6 set for Friday night in Milwaukee. Choking away Game 5 was a massive disappointment. But plays like these are a reminder that the Celtics have more than enough juice to right the ship.
