In a post‑game interview, Al Horford reflects on his recent shooting efficiency (around 49% over the last six games) and expresses concern for teammate Jimmy Butler, who left the game with a leg injury. Horford acknowledges the emotional impact of seeing a key player go down and emphasizes the necessity for the Warriors to rely on their depth, with various bench players needing to step up to fill the void. He highlights the team's recent trend of making 20+ three‑point attempts in four straight games, attributing success to strong ball movement and a collective willingness to shoot. Horford also notes his own offensive rhythm, describing how he’s taking advantage of opportunities, staying aggressive, and posting double‑digit scoring in consecutive games.

Al Horford, he's been playing well, 49% shooting over his last 3 games, excuse me, 6 games. He's with KB, one-on-one.
Well, you guys have won 4 straight games, and I wish this were a happier interview though. Like, we saw Jimmy go off the floor not able to put weight on his leg. What are you thinking when you see a teammate leave like that?
Just concerned. You know, I feel for Jimmy. He's, he, um, I feel like he was playing really, really good basketball. And now, you know, we just hope that he's fine. We're all just waiting on the result.
As you guys wait for that, how will you rely on the depth of this team?
Well, we're going to have to. You know, different guys, we all have to step up a little more. We can't really replace everything that he does and brings for our team, but we have to find a way.
This is the 4th consecutive game where you guys have 20 or more threes. They're spread around to everyone. What are you observing right now about how the ball's not sticking and those shots are open.
Yeah, I think that's a big key for our group. You know, the ball movement is good, guys are ready to shoot, and everybody, I feel like it's a threat out there when we're out there, so that's a really good sign for us.
You're one of those threats as well, the second consecutive game where you're in double-digit scoring. What's going well for you right now?
Well, I mean, just kind of trying to take advantage of opportunities and just continuing to figure things out and staying aggressive on offense.
Thank you, Al. Thanks.
