All in all, a pretty great night for Al Horford. The Rookies couldn't keep pace with the Sophomores (which never happens) and lost 136-109, but Horford acquitted himself quite nicely with 19 points and 7 rebounds in just over 21 minutes. It was a typical Horford game - not much flash, just some dirty work down low and good fundamental basketball.

Afterwards, he talked about playing the game, and he seemed pretty satisfied with how it all went down.

Brandon Roy was sitting next to him in the interview room after the game, so of course I had to ask the reigning Rookie of the Year his thoughts on the two front-runners. He made nice comments about both, but if you read between the lines I think you can hear him give the nod to Al. Maybe that's just me.

And with that, I'm going to wrap it up for the day. I may or may not be going to the ESPN party tonight (depending on how long it takes me to get back to my hotel), so if I go and get any good pictures, I'll post them here tomorrow. For now, I will leave you with two galleries I put together from today.
