LOS ANGELES (AP) -The knee may never be the same. Kevin Garnett’s heart hasn’t changed a bit.
Garnett is no longer the dominant player he was when the Boston Celtics won the NBA championship two years ago, but he still plays with his same trademark intensity.
Maybe even more now.
Forced to sit out last postseason with a knee injury, Garnett says Wednesday “what was burning in me two years ago is probably intensified” because he didn’t feel the Celtics had a real chance to defend their title.
They can win another one if they beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals for the second time in three years. To do so, they’ll likely need a big contribution from Garnett.
