In case you missed it...
Kevin Garnett forced Minneosta Timberwolves Sebastian Telfair into a turnover on the final possession of the game to secure an 87-86 victory for the Boston Celtics at TD Banknorth Garden. Boston Center Kendrick Perkins had 21 points for the Celtics and Telfair had 18 points and six assists for Minnesota in his first game against the Celtics since this summer's trade.
We'll have more on the game in Saturday's edition of The Sun.
YES the Celts should have taken care of the Timberwolves much easier, but this game Definitely made a statement! KG coming out of the game with the abdominal strain and then coming back in just in time to break up Ex Celtic Sebastian Telfair's play and help the C's snatch a Victory right under the Wolves nose. This year's C's can win any sort of game even and especially the Close one's and thats the mark of a GREAT Team! You watch the Celts will beat the Spurs in the Finals and go all the way for their 17th banner.
