Al Horford led the Boston Celtics to a series-clinching victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, but his sister, Anna Horford, didn’t appreciate Draymond Green’s analysis during the successful evening.
The 37-year-old big man turned back the clock with 22 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in a 113-98 win. Horford and the Celtics advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals following the Game 5 triumph.
Joining TNT’s Inside The NBA panel, Green noted the veteran’s struggles defending the pick-and-roll. This prompted Anna to defend her brother on social media.
“Solid overall defense, including 3 blocks, & Draymond is on @NBAonTNT saying Al’s getting cooked? F*ck off & enjoy your vacation,” Anna wrote.

Anna later called the Golden State Warriors star a “hater,” using some choice words.
“Biased opinions are weak opinions,” she declared. “Get him off the TV.”
Al Horford had scored 26 combined points through four games before Wednesday’s huge performance. He made six three-pointers, matching his tally from the entire opening round.
With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, the 17-year veteran averaged 31.6 minutes in the second-round series. The Celtics closed the series at TD Garden with their seventh double-digit victory this postseason.
“For me, the biggest thing was just bringing energy to our group … We had a great opportunity here at home to handle this, and I knew it was going to take a lot more than just playing a normal game,” Horford told reporters after the game, via NBA TV.
The Celtics now await the winner of the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers series.
