Horford showed no mercy and drove directly at Raptors forward Amir Johnson, and threw down a powerful slam to fire up the first-place Hawks and their bench.
Johnson went toe-to-toe with Horford, going up to challenge him, but it was to no avail as the Hawks forward absolutely threw down on him.
The Atlanta Hawks have won 10 in a row and are quietly becoming one of the most feared teams in the NBA. They are currently blowing out the Raptors late in the fourth.
The Hawks’ current run of domination is great for the city of Atlanta and gives them a team to get behind as the Falcons and Braves struggle.
They call the Philips Arena in Atlanta “The Highlight Factory” for a reason. Tonight Horford brought the factory with him to the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
