Al Horford turns back the clock, scores 30, sparks Celtics past Bucks to even series 2-2

Al Horford has been in the NBA since George W. Bush was president and “The Simpsons Movie” was in theaters.

Monday night, he jumped in the hot tub time machine and had arguably his best game as a professional.

Horford scored 16 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter — all while guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo on the other end — and he and Jayson Tatum led a Celtics team back from double digits in the third quarter. Tatum and Horford combined to start the fourth quarter shooting 11-of-11 for 28 points.

It was enough. With their backs against the wall in an intense series, the Celtics played their best quarter of the postseason and came out of it with a 116-108 win in Game 4 to even their series with the Bucks 2-2. Game 5 will be back in Boston on Wednesday night.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE AL HORFORD
