Celtics happy with Horford’s production

Isaiah Thomas is having one of the greatest scoring seasons in Celtics history. He does not consider it coincidental that Al Horford has been on the floor for most of his biggest runs.

“He’s been really important to my success,” the Celtics guard said after yesterday’s practice. “I remember earlier in the year he told me like I’m here to make things easier for you. You’re gonna lead this team and I’m gonna make things as easy as possible. And he meant that. He’s been exactly what he said since Day 1. He’s meant a lot to me.”
