Baby Broke his Hand in a Fight, but It's KG who Can Take a Punch

On a night when Boston Celtics' reserve forward Glen Davis was recovering from surgery to a thumb he broke during a fight on Sunday, it was Kevin Garnett who proved he could take a punch against the Cleveland Cavaliers. I lost track of how many times he was knocked to the floor during last night's contest at the Q. Two? Three? Four? Maybe more. But each time, he got up, dusted himself off and continued on with the action. I expect this sort of thing to continue.

Back when Kobe was having problems with one of his fingers, a reporter asked Doc about it. "I wouldn't want to be Kobe," was Doc's response. "Why?" The reporter asked. "Because players will start going after it when they defend him." KG's knee is gonna get similarly tested.
