BOSTON (AP) -The last two times the Boston Celtics were missing Kevin Garnett against the Miami Heat they came away with wins.
They get another, unwanted chance on Tuesday night.
With Garnett suspended for one game for throwing an elbow at Quentin Richardson in the final minute of Boston’s win in the playoff opener, the Celtics will be without their emotional leader and one of their best passers and defenders.
But the Heat still expect a tough game.
Garnett said Monday he wasn’t surprised by the suspension and learned his lesson: always keep a cool head. Richardson said he was surprised he was fined but also was eager to leave the skirmish behind.
