Anna Horford, the sister of Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford, had a rough time dealing with Cavs fans during Friday’s game between Cleveland and Atlanta at Philips Arena.
Anna is a big fan of her brother and the Hawks, so it’s no surprise she was passionate during the game. But she was dealing with some difficult Cavs fans on Twitter and responded with some insults. In one instance she made an incest joke about Cavs fans:
Cavs fans keep calling Al my husband. He's my brother. Im sure that kind of thing is allowed in Ohio but it's frowned upon most other places

Then she pointed out that some Cavs fans were hoping for players to get injured:

For all those clever people with comebacks, I'm not from the South. I don't live in the South. Love Atlanta though

Maybe the negative energy shifted over to Al, who only shot 5-for-17 and missed all his 3-pointers in a 110-108 overtime loss. It certainly was not his best effort of the season.
But much like we learned with Steph Curry’s sister, these siblings of NBA stars can come after you hard on Twitter. Do not mess with them.
