Heading into tonight’s game at the Garden, Boston had not lost at home to the Kings since 2007. At many points during this wild and at times frustrating game, it definitely looked like that streak was in jeopardy. But despite sputtering through most of tonight’s game, Al Horford’s historic performance (more on that later) gets the green a 97-92 win.
The Celtics, lead by Al Horford, came out of the gates smoking hot tonight. Horford scored 12 points in his first 8 minutes and Boston was up 26-14 with just under 4 minutes to go in the quarter.
