The Celtics had just gone through a dour stretch, missing seven straight shots, with a turnover, and going scoreless for 5:18 while Charlotte cut the margin to five points. The C’s finally broke the spell on Garnett’s 20-footer - good for a 98-91 lead with 1:51 left - and answered two Richardson free throws with another Garnett 20-footer. Garnett’s contributions were followed by a Perkins steal that led to an Allen fast-break bucket.

I plan to start calling these games out going forward.
I give some credence to the criticism that Garnett has not shown much propensity for throwing a team on his back and carrying them to victory in the final minutes of games.
We know he carried an entire franchise to victory in his one Game 7 challenge.
It says here Garnett will continue to step up in crunch time when circumstances dictate.
