The accolades are starting to roll in as Horford has won Eastern Conf. player of the week while we are in the top 5 in most power rankings for the first time in forever.

 

Sportssouth also announced that the Rockets game was the highest viewed game of the season.

 

Now let's cap this great Monday off with a big win against the Mavs!

Who knows whether you can trust SportsSouth. They said before the game that Ariza had hit more 3's than anyone in the league and he was actually 7th. 

 

I'm very happy for Horford though. It's hard to see how he stood out that much on the Hawks this week, let alone the entire conference but I'm happy for him. He had a very nice week but it really didn't feel like he alone was even carrying the Hawks this week. 

 

18 points, 7 boards and just over 1.5 blocks. I'd love to see him average that over the rest of the season. Still shocked that was the best performance this week in the East though.

I might joke around but NO ONE can deny you are a hardcore Hawks fan. Salute.

In winning the honor for the second time in his career, Horford led the Hawks to a perfect 3-0 week (road wins over Cleveland and Houston, and a home win over Chicago), averaging 18.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes (.605 FG%, .750 FT%). He was the only player in the NBA to average at least 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals, and shoot at least .600 FG% for the week. Including the three-game winning streak, Atlanta has won 12-of-13.

In the 12/15 contest against Chicago, he recorded a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds to go along with a season-high six assists and two steals in 33 minutes (10-19 FGs). He followed that up with a 20-point night at Cleveland (10-14 FGs) in 31 minutes and 14 points, eight rebounds, five assists, three blocks and a steal in 32 minutes at Houston. He set or tied season-highs in assists, defensive rebounds and blocks during the week.

Horford helped Atlanta to lead the NBA in FG% (.528), apg (29.3) and assist/turnover ratio (2.59) last week, while ranking first in the East (second in the NBA) in ppg (108.0). On the season, he ranks 12th in the NBA in FG%, t13th in bpg and t26th in FGM (170) in 29.8 mpg.
