Al: the Ageless Wonder
Date: May 9, 2022
No one was more fired up than veteran big man Al Horford in Game 4 of the 2022 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Playing in his second stint with Boston, Horford put up huge numbers during the playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the Game 4 victory – which was also his 132nd career postseason game – Horford scored a postseason career-high 30 points with five 3-pointers. The 35-year-old center became the oldest player in franchise history with 30 points in playoff game since John Havlicek in 1977 at age 37. “We love Al,” said Marcus Smart. “He’s the best veteran we’ve ever had. He understands what he brings to this game and what he brings to this team.”
