Al Horford turns in historic performance for Celtics Thursday night

Share

MILWAUKEE -- Al Horford has been on quite the tear lately for the Boston Celtics, tallying his third straight double-double in Boston’s 98-97 loss at Milwaukee on Thursday night.

But he did more - so much more - than that against the Bucks.

In addition to scoring 21 points and grabbing a season-high 17 rebounds, Horford also had five assists, three steals and three blocks.

There are only four other Celtics (Larry Bird did it twice) to have tallied a stat line of 20-plus points, 17 or more rebounds, 5 or more assists, three or more steals and three or more blocked shots.

Here’s a list of the elite company Horford’s strong night put him in among all-time Celtics.

Al Horford (Thursday at Bucks): 21 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks
Kevin Garnett (2007 vs. Wizards): 22 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks
Larry Bird (1982 vs. Hawks): 28 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks
Larry Bird (1981 at Lakers): 36 points, 21 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals, 3 blocks
Dave Cowens (1975 vs. Jazz): 34 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks
