He looked good and aggressive on both ends of the court and was all over the boards tonight. Maybe he has hit that second gear now and will continue to improve. Also not bad that he has missed only one field goal attempt in two games. A strong Garnett makes a world of difference to this team.

No kidding. He's clearly getting it back. I sense good things this December.

Great game by KG, he had tremendous energy out there and has had a great shooting touch all week.  Very promising.

Well, I cautioned people that it was too early to jump to conclusions when people said he looked bad, so I won't jump to the conclusion that he's fine after one game either.  However, this is hopefully the first piece of evidence that his leg problems are improving.

Great game from KG!! Still would like to see the Defensive Intimidation (Blocks), but this is certainly a big win on the Road against a solid team...this should send a message to the League to be on point, C's are not to be slept on!

Solid win against a younger, more athletic team!

Look out, Hawks, ORL..paybacks coming!

My favorite move was his face-up drive against O'Neal in the 4th.  That was the first time I've seen his quickness in awhile.

I agree with all that point out how promising tonight was.  Just remember, for a while he will probably have games like this mixed with minor steps backwards until about February. 

I think that if he holds up through the All Star break, he'll be whatever 100% is for KG at this age and that is pretty darn good.

He may not be 100% but he's darn near shooting 100%  ;)
Yup

Definitely encouraging...easily the best I've seen KG play in quite some time.

2 very clutch buckets in the past few games for him as well. Obviously the one in NY (when he was having a terrible shooting night) and the one tonight at the end (when he was having a (almost) perfect shooting night). With all this talk (and it is talk) of KG not being clutch he sure seems to be hitting some clutch shots. Im sure his confidence is building in every facet of his game right now and making buckets like these can only help. Now we have Pierce, Ray, KG, and even Rondo making clutch clutch buckets as of late. Pick your poison thats all i gotta say....

Yeah, really ... I remember the game when he was shooting really poorly but got the game-winner in overtime, and saying something to the effect that the final shot was just the kick-in-the-butt that he and the team needed, and that it might be the turning point ... well, things have certainly changed since then, and he's been on fire ever since. It's great to see, because his intensity and energy is contagious, and the rest of the team is feeding off it ... you can feel it. (TP)
