Author of a superb performance against Milwaukee, Al Horford also seized the opportunity to put Giannis Antetokounmpo in misery. The double MVP and his family were not at the end of their sentences after that… since the sister of the Bostonian added a layer on Twitter.
We wouldn’t have bet on it before the initial whistle, but it was Al Horford who was the big man in Game 4 against the Bucks. Aged 35, the pivot simply shone on the floors with a performance placed under the sign of efficiency: 30 points and 8 rebounds, all at 11/14 in shooting including 5/7 at three points. A masterclass from the veteran, which allowed his team to equalize in these conference semi-finals.
On the side of the Wisconsin players, we had a hard time finding solutions against the former Hawks player, even by putting him Giannis Antetokounmpo on the back. If the latter once again blackened the stats sheet (34 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assists), this was done with a lot of offensive waste since he only shot 43% in shooting (14/ 32). As mentioned above, he also had all the trouble in the world in defense against the Bostonian, even taking a nasty poster in the gums:

Al Horford explains his masterclass against Giannis Antetokounmpo
Interestingly, because Horford confirmed it himself at a press conference, the exchange seen at the start of the video was nothing trivial in his eyes. Indeed, the behavior of The Alphabet would have greatly disturbed him, to the point of wanting to show his fangs against him at all costs:
To be completely honest, I don’t really know what he said to me, but the way he was looking at me and the way he was going about it didn’t suit me at all. And at that moment, something changed in me in the game.
Suffice to say that he was able to join words to deeds, since following this sequence at the start of the second half, the n°42 devoted himself to a festival, in particular in the last quarter that he finished with 16 points at 6/6 shooting. His sister Anna, who regularly gives his (quirky) opinion on the Bean Town franchise, was obviously ecstatic on social media. She did not hesitate to troll the Daims after the meeting, in order to drive the point home:
This is where the Bucks f*cked up ???? I know that look… He was pissed.

This is where the Bucks screwed up ???? I know that look… He was pissed.
Al Horford was piqued in his pride by the behavior of Giannis Antetokounmpo, and his reaction in Game 4 was ruthless. What is certain is that in the event of qualification for the conference finals, his sister Anna will not forget to troll the Bucks!
