ATLANTA, GA - APRIL 29: Al Horford #15 of the Atlanta Hawks reacts after a basket in the final minutes of their 102-91 win over the Indiana Pacers during Game Four of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals of the 2013 NBA Playoffs at Philips Arena on April 29, 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Atlanta is the third best team in the East, gut that could fall if they were to miss Al Horford for any length of time.
Horford injured his right shoulder during the first overtime against the Cavaliers. He was trying to reach around and knock down an inbounds pass only to hurt his shoulder in some fashion.
No word yet on how long the Hawks coudl be without Horford. For their sake, hopefully not long.
