Horford digs in

[NewsWhore]

The Atlanta Hawks are one of the best teams in the NBA. Didn't think you'd be saying that phrase any time soon? Well, basketball fans can thank the stellar play of Al Horford, who has become the anchor of what is one of the best and brightest teams in the league. The team has the third best record in the Eastern Conference, 18-6, and Horford has taken the opportunity to shine under the pressure of an NBA season. Horford is averaging close to a double-double on the season, with 13.3 points per game and 9.40 rebounds. He is dishing out 2 assists per game, close to 2 blocks, and is only playing 32 minutes per game, making him an efficient asset. But the last 11 games have been more impressive for Horford, where he has averaged a double-double during the last 11 games, including a 15-point, 10-rebound performance against the Memphis Grizzlies.
