INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — Fresh off of a whirlwind Game 3, Al Horford sat at the podium and centered his faith.
“First of all, for me, it’s the glory to the Lord for giving me this opportunity, putting me in this position,” he said matter-of-factly.
Horford, who turns 38 years old in a week, was just minutes removed from one of the most impactful playoff performances of his 16-year NBA career — a 23-point, 3-block performance — when he made a deliberate point to thank God for putting him in the position to succeed.
En route to the 114-111 victory, Horford became the oldest player in league history to make seven three-pointers in a playoff game.
