On May 26, Beijing time, the Celtics completed an 18-point comeback 114-111 away from home, and the veteran Horford, who is about to turn 38 a week away, made great contributions. In this game, Horford contributed 8 of 14 to the crosshair, especially 7 of 12 from the outside, with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, especially in the final quarter, he hit key three-pointers one after another, and scored 8 points in the final quarter to become a miracle.

It is worth mentioning that Horford has set several records:

First, Horford hit seven three-pointers, setting a single-game record for a playoff career, and the all-time record is six three-pointers.

Second, Horford is 37 years and 348 days old, setting a record for the oldest player to hit 7 three-pointers in NBA playoff history.

Third, Horford became the fourth center player in playoff history to hit seven three-pointers in a single game, joining Naz Reid, Myles Turner and Jokic.

With Porzingis continuing to miss out due to injury and has missed eight consecutive playoff games, there is still no clear word on when he will return. In this case, Horford, a veteran who is about to turn 38 years old, once again became the main player on the inside.

During Porzingis' absence due to injury, Horford played well to fill the void, especially the shooting ability from the outside, which helped the team immensely.

In this game, Horford played the "cake king" on the outside, he repeatedly received passes from Tatum, White and others, and repeatedly hit three-pointers on the outside. In the first three quarters of the game, Horford has hit five three-pointers to score 15 points, becoming an important arrow figure for the Green Army to chase points.

In the final quarter of the game, Horford's score of another 8 points was extremely crucial, and in the final decisive stage, Horford continued to give strength. Horford hit his sixth three-pointer with 8:31 left in the final quarter, and then hit a hook shot with three and a half minutes remaining.

With 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the end, Horford received an assist from Tatum, and also hit his seventh three-pointer to chase only 2 points to continue his life, and the Green Army finally completed an 18-point comeback. Horford let Porzingis recuperate from his injury, and the latter also happily updated social media after the game: "Let's fucking go!" ”
