On Monday night the Atlanta Hawks' season came to a screeching halt after the team lost a fourth straight game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was a tough series for the team, but their first appearance in the second round of the NBA playoffs since 1999 was a tremendous accomplishment. Horford's play during the season and the playoffs was key in Atlanta's success and his play this year has once again consolidated him as one of the top power forwards/centers in the NBA. Horford averaged 11.5 points per game, with 9.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists. He also notched up 1.4 blocks per game and 1 steal per game. Next year looks to be an even better year for Horford. Now the only Dominican player left in the 2009 NBA playoffs is Los Angeles Lakers guard Trevor Ariza. Ariza claims Dominican heritage through his grandfather and is in the process of changing his international affiliation so that he can play with the Dominican national team during international competitions.
