Power forward Al Horford has continued his ascent into the corps of elite players in the league by carrying his in-season performance into the post-season, though Atlanta Hawks fans wish the same could be said about their team. The rookie forward, who is a favorite to win Rookie of the Year honors, scored 20 points on 7-10 shooting in the Hawks 104-81 drubbing at the hands of the favored Boston Celtics. The eighth-seeded Hawks are facing the Celtics, who look to reclaim that lore of Green teams from the past. Horford's efforts were to be admired as he also grabbed 10 rebounds, had two assists and brought the Hawks within two at one point, but his efforts were in vain. Sports fans will wait to see if Horford is a magician, because it will take a miracle for the Hawks to beat the mighty Boston Celtics.
