Al Horford News: Double-double vs. Brooklyn

Sixers veteran contributes 14 points, 10 rebounds

Horford's consistent play helps Philadelphia win sixth straight

Al Horford played a key role in the Philadelphia 76ers' 115-106 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. The veteran big man notched a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Sixers improve to 26-16 on the season.

Horford was efficient from the field, shooting 5-of-10 from the floor. He also hit 4-of-5 from the free-throw line. Horford's rebounding was also key for Philadelphia, as the Sixers outrebounded the Nets 48-38.

In addition to his statistical contributions, Horford also provided leadership and experience for the Sixers. He was frequently seen talking to his teammates and directing the defense. Horford's presence on the court was a calming influence for Philadelphia, especially in the fourth quarter when the Nets made a late push.

Horford's performance against the Nets is just one example of his consistent play this season. The 36-year-old is averaging 11.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 65.1% from the field. Horford's contributions have been a major factor in the Sixers' success this season, and he has shown no signs of slowing down.

The Sixers will be back in action on Friday night when they host the New York Knicks. Horford will look to continue his strong play and help Philadelphia extend their winning streak to seven games.
