Seated and relaxed, Garnett took questions about his impressive preseason triple-double, which he said he wasn't even aware of until reporters mentioned it. Garnett poured in 21 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in 32 minutes of play as the Celtics pulled away from the Cleveland Cavaliers for a 114-89 win at the Garden Friday night.
KG says” he doesn't count stats while he's on the floor, and it's hard to believe he'd have time anyway”. And early in the fourth quarter, he apparently decided it was time to take over on the offensive end, scoring eight points in the first five minutes of the final stanza to help put the game out of reach.
"I take a lot of pride in my passing," Garnett said. "I take a lot of pride in my IQ in basketball. It's something I've developed."
Paul Pierce said Garnett's the best passing big man he's played with, while Ray Aellon didn't think it was a crazy notion that Garnett could get a triple-double every night.
