Few players in the league are big and athletic enough to give Serge Ibaka a true taste of his own medicine at the rim. Al Horford, though, is certainly among them.

Beautiful.

It’s early yet, but the Thunder seem like they’ll have a chance to end the Hawks’ 14 game-winning streak and extend a four-game surge of their own. Oklahoma City leads Atlanta 21-16 late in the first quarter.
