One of, if not the top play from Monday's Game 4 clash between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks has got to be Al Horford's monster jam all over Giannis Antetokounmpo. Horford threw it down with force as he put the former back-to-back MVP on an epic poster.
After the Celtics' 116-108 win, Horford opened up about his dunk on the Bucks superstar. As expected, the veteran big man played down the moment a bit as he expressed how important that momentum-swinging play was for Boston:
“It was a big play obviously, emotional for our group. A lot of emotions at that point,” Horford said, via Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe.

There were indeed a lot of emotions at that point in the game and the Celtics big man himself even let out a primal scream right after putting Giannis on the deck:

Horford exploded in this one for a massive 30-point, eight-rebound performance. The Celtics center also logged five assists and three 3-pointers. Horford knew what was at stake in Game 4 so he made sure to step it up for his team when it mattered the most.
“I think we all understood the importance of this game,” he said, via Jay King of The Athletic. “… I was just really locked in. I understood the moment and what we needed to do as a group.”
