The Atlanta Hawks were down big at the half, but Al Horford’s accuracy has helped them cut down their deficit.
The Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors game has been filled with All-Star Game worthy highlights throughout the action. It’s caused many tune in as the stars of the NBA battle in a game that is tighter than many people thought it would go. Al Horford was able to jump above the defenders and slam home a perfect pass from his teammate.
Alley-oops don’t always go well, but the pass was spot on as Horford finished the play just as seamlessly as it started. After seeing Steph Curry embarrass them in the first half and going down by double digits in the first half, the Hawks came out strong in the third quarter. The Hawks’ bench rightfully went crazy as the emphatic alley-oop cut the Warriors’ lead to seven with about three minutes to play in the third quarter.
If the Hawks end up making a complete comeback, they can look back to the third quarter as their catalyst to get them back into the game. Even if they don’t end up winning, they were able to get the crowd back into the game with plays like these.
This game could end up being a preview of the NBA finals should both teams play to their full potential with the star studded crew they both have.
