Al Horford's 14-Point Return Ignites Warriors Offense After Injury Layoff

Al Horford made an impactful return for the Golden State Warriors on Thursday after missing the past seven games since December 4th. Playing just 11 minutes off the bench, Horford scored a season-high 14 points, adding four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in the 126-116 win against the Dallas Mavericks. His performance, which included four crucial 3-pointers in the first quarter, immediately unlocked a new offensive element for the team. Coach Steve Kerr noted his significant contribution, especially after his previous struggles and limited availability this season.
