Al Horford
20 minutes, 5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 turnovers, 4 fouls, 2-for-7 shooting, 1-for-4 threes, 35.7% TS, -10
If you’ve watched basketball at any point in the last two decades, then you probably felt pretty strongly that Horford was a perfect fit for this Warriors team. And it took him all of one possession in a Warriors jersey to show just how true that is.
Horford didn’t play all that well — he had a poor shooting night and had a few tough plays — but it was instantly clear how well he fits what the team wants to do on both ends of the court, and how much of a difference-maker he’ll be as the season goes on. Just a perfect addition.
