Anna Horford knows the look in her brother's eyes.
Early in the third quarter, Giannis Antetokounmpo stared down Al Horford after a one-handed slam. The 15-year vet didn't seem to respond so kindly.
"This is where the Bucks [expletive] up," tweeted Anna. "I know that look…"
Horford came through with a monster fourth quarter, scoring 16 points to rally the Celtics past Milwaukee and even up their series at two games a piece. Boston outscored the Bucks 43-28 in the period.
Horford ignited the rally with a posterizing slam of his own that tied the game, and sent Giannis to the floor. It was a beautiful act of revenge.

After the game, Horford acknowledged Giannis' glare set him off. "I don't really know what he said to me, but the way he was looking at me and the way he was going about it really didn't sit well with me," he told reporters. "At that point, something switched with me in the game."
Horford finished with 30 points, and seemingly sparked Jayson Tatum, who made some dizzying shots late.
Anna Horford knew exactly what was going to happen.
