Al Horford to learn from ejection

Al Horford has insisted that he will learn from his ejection in game three of the Eastern Conference finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Atlanta Hawks center was removed from the game just before half time after elbowing Matthew Dellavedova in the head.

Horford told ESPN: "I did think he went at me, but I should have handled it better. Shouldn't have gotten caught up in that, and it's something I'll definitely learn from."

The Hawks know that they must win all of the remaining games in the series in order to reach the NBA Finals after losing 114-111 in game three.
