Garnett posted a monster double-double in the Celtics' Game 3 victory at Philadelphia. He finished with 27 points and 13 rebounds. He also chipped in four assists and one steal in his 30 minutes of action.Recommendation: Garnett was called for a devastating offensive foul in the closing moments of Boston's Game 2 loss and it looked like he was carrying that chip on his shoulder Wednesday. He was on fire, making 12-of-17 from the floor, knocking down several of his patented 18-footers. He also dominated the defensive end, cleaning up the defensive glass and helping to hold Elton Brand and Spencer Hawes to a collective 3-of-14 for seven points on the night.
