Al Horford finally reaches NBA Finals after record 141 playoff games

Finally, Al Horford has made it to the NBA Finals.

Horford helped lead the Boston Celtics past the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday night, which officially put the Celtics back in the Finals for the first time since 2010.

But more importantly for Horford, it will mark the first Finals in his 14-year career.

Horford played in his 141st career playoff game on Sunday night, yet he had never reached that final series. The streak was the longest in NBA history.

"I just didn't know how to act," Horford said, via 98.
