KG's 28 and 14 lead Celtics into second round
Kevin Garnett - F/C - Boston Celtics
May 10, 2012 - 11:50 PM ET
Kevin Garnett scored 28 points on 10-of-19 shooting (8-of-10 from the foul line) with 14 rebounds, three steals, and five blocks in the Celtics' 83-80 closeout win over the Hawks on Thursday.
Garnett hasn't received nearly enough credit for the season he has had in both fantasy and reality, and tonight he made big play after big play to send the Hawks fishing. Rajon Rondo put up 14 points with eight assists, and Paul Pierce added 18 points with five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block. Ray Allen (ankle) hit just 1-of-7 shots (all threes) and missed a key free throw late -- and he'll need to step up his game if the Celtics have any designs on a championship.
