Good news Atlanta Hawks fans! Center Al Horford made his return to the NBA tonight! Al Horford didn't play much last season due to a torn pectoral muscle early in the 2013-2014 season. He sat out until tonight, when the Atlanta Hawks decided to let him play in tonight's preseason game against the Miami Heat. He didn't have a huge impact on the game only earning two points and a rebound. Still, Atlanta Hawks fans have to be ecstatic for the return of their star player. the Atlanta Hawks won the game 109-103. They scored 43 points in the third quarter to help get them out of a small first half hole. The Heat haven't been doing very well in the preseason (0-4). I'm not sure if this is a result of Lebron James not being their anymore, or the Hawks being a better team (2-1). The Eastern Conference isn't as strong as the Western Conference. That alone should give Hawks fans hope that they'll be a challenging playoff contender this year. They came close to beating the Indiana Pacers in the playoffs last year, but couldn't finish the series strong. One thing is for sure, both of these teams will be fun to watch. Besides, this is just a preseason game. These two will meet again in the regular season. The Heat will be looking to get revenge on the Hawks. They play again November 14th.
Do you think the Miami Heats poor performance this preseason will spill over to the regular season?
Is Al Horford's return to the Atlanta Hawks the spark that'll get them deeper in the playoffs?
Until next time!
