Al Horford is Eastern Conference Player of the Week

Horford's effort came despite a historic (for Al) 4-17 psychedelic free throw line excursion, but the big fella played a huge role in the perfect record for the week.

From the team's official press release:

The Atlanta Hawks' Al Horford and the San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan today were named Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, Nov. 19, through Sunday, Nov. 25.

Horford led the Hawks to a 4-0 week, averaging 16.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists. He recorded a career-high 10 assists on Nov. 21 as Atlanta topped the Washington Wizards 101-100. Horford's 26-point, 13-rebound double-double in a 101-91 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Nov. 23 helped the Hawks to improve their road record to 4-2, tops in the conference.
