Boston Celtics star Al Horford fired a warning to rival fans after helping his team to a 128-120 victory over Atlanta Hawks on Thursday, that saw them advance in the NBA Play-Offs.
The Celtics and the Hawks were level at 113-113 with under four minutes remaining when the 36-year-old scored a three-pointer in front of the bench. That score was part of a 14-3 run that helped the visitors pull away from their rivals to secure their place in the second round. And it came after Horford had been trashed talked by a fan at the State Farm Arena.
With Celtics struggling to find their rhythm in the opening two quarters of the game, one fan in the crowd gave Horford an earful at half time. And after the encounter, the player admitted the trash talk proved inspirational.
