""As great of screens as he sets for me, and protecting everybody at the rim and making all the right plays, whenever he's open, he gets the ball for sure," Butler said."
""Jimmy, right away, made it a clear point to look for me, Horford said. He had a few times where he had layups. He was still looking to kick it out and encouraging me to shoot the ball. The passes, you know, they were on the money.""
Jimmy Butler repeatedly drove to the rim and kicked the ball out to Al Horford, resulting in all four of Horford's 3-pointers. Horford had been in a shooting slump but converted every long-range attempt off Butler assists. Horford played 18 minutes, blocked three shots, and disrupted Indiana's passing lanes to hinder the shorthanded offense. Draymond Green challenged the frontcourt to improve intensity, and Horford responded by anchoring the defense and making key plays during a 10-0 run that helped break the game open.
