Al Horford and the Atlanta Hawks' bid to shock the world was not meant to be, though it did make for great drama. The Rookie, Horford, put up a spectacular performance during the series, punching in 12.6 points, 10 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. His play was crucial in helping the once lowly Hawks gain some respect and put the once unbeatable Boston Celtics on the verge of elimination. Horford and the Hawks were playing with reckless abandon and then came Game 7 in Boston. It looked like the Celts tired of playing playground b-ball and put a thumping on the Hawks, and there was nothing Horford could do. The Cs came out blazing with dazzling passes, spectacular moves and stifling defense. When the massacre was done the Cs were up 99-65, for a 34-point victory. However, Horford was touted for his tremendous play and gained the respect of current NBAers who see Horford as a future perennial All-Star. This will certainly not be the last time we see Horford in the NBA playoffs.
