The Boston Celtics are glad to have Al Horford back.
In his return from a nine-game absence, the big man stepped up in the dying moments of Saturday's game versus the Detroit Pistons.
With the clock winding down and the game tied, Jae Crowder misfired on a 3-pointer, but luckily for the visitors, Horford was in position under the basket to tap the ball in.
At the other end, Boston's key free-agent pickup blocked Aron Bayne's attempt to send the game into overtime.
Horford finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in the 94-92 victory, as the Celtics improved to 7-6.
