Celtics Beat Minnesota 99-93 Behind Huge Fourth Quarter

The Celtics defeated the Timberwolves last night (11/21/16), 99-93. Going to the fourth quarter, Boston trailed Minnesota, 81-68. Boston went on a huge run in the fourth, including a 19-0 run that put them ahead. The run was powered by second-year guard Terry Rozier and Al Horford. The Celtics looked incredible during this stretch - forcing turnovers, hitting jump shots, and throwing down a couple dunks to get the crowd and the bench going. This game featured some great play by Al Horford, who recently returned from a concussion that has had him sidelined for much of the year. The Celtics look to continue their winning ways against Brooklyn on Wednesday.

Leading Scorers: Isaiah Thomas (29), Al Horford (20), Avery Bradley (13)

Leading Passers: Al Horford (5), Marcus Smart (5), Isaiah Thomas (3)

☘  Player of the Game: Al Horford (20 PTS, 6 REB, 5 AST, 3 BLK, 1 STL)
