Joe Mazzulla, coach of the Boston Celtics, praised the Dominican Al Horford this Saturday for his balance and leadership and defined him as an “anchor” for his team, which won 114-111 at the Pacers’ field and took a 3-3 lead. -0 in the NBA Eastern Conference finals and is one step away from returning to the Finals to fight for a ring that they have not won since 2008.
“Even when we weren’t doing well, we were still there and Al was an anchor for us,” Mazzulla said at the Indianapolis postgame press conference. “When you are losing by 10 points in the playoffs you have to live it normally. And Al showed poise and leadership,” the coach added.
Horford had 23 points and 7 triples, with 3 blocks, in the Celtics’ 18-point comeback. “When we managed to accept the fact that we were down by double digits, it was a lot of fun. I liked our mentality, we made the necessary plays to win. You have to be able to win in several ways,” he assured.
