Al Horford adapts to modern NBA with focus on 3-point shooting in 18th season

Al Horford, at 38 years old, is thriving in his 18th NBA season with the Boston Celtics. He has adapted his game by focusing on 3-point shooting, which has significantly increased his attempts and extended his career. Horford's 3-point shooting has evolved dramatically since his early years, where he attempted only 65 in his first eight seasons. This season alone, he has already attempted 101 in just 19 games, reflecting the league's shift towards perimeter shooting. In other news, Kristaps Porzingis is dealing with right heel pain but is not expected to miss significant time. He practiced well after leaving a recent game for precautionary reasons, and the Celtics are optimistic about his availability for their upcoming match.
