Yet in the playoffs Garnett showed he could take over a game when his team needed it most. No one is ripping him anymore after his decisive performance against the Kings in Game7 of the Western Conference semifinals 32 points, 21 boards, five blocks and four steals in 46 minutes. He poured in 13 straight fourth-quarter points, including a buzzer-beating three that put Minnesota up 77-70 with 339 to go. There was a ton of pressure, ... but he had an amazing calm about him.
