Watch: Celtics' Al Horford stuffs Heat's Max Strus on dunk attempt

Facing the top-seeded Miami Heat on the road in Game 7 on Sunday night, Boston Celtics fans couldn't have asked for a much better start than what their team gave them in the first quarter. At the end of one frame, the Celtics not only held a commanding 32-17 lead, but held the advantage in nearly every significant statistical category early on as well.

The opening stanza featured a bevy of offensive and defensive highlights for Boston, but the top defensive gem arguably came when Al Horford stuffed Max Strus of the Heat after the guard came soaring in for a dunk attempt. To make matters even better for the visitors, Horford's block led directly to points on the other end.
