Garnett helps Nets go Fourth
KG keys late surge as Brooklyn makes it four in a row
Jason Kidd jokingly referred to Kevin Garnett as “the young fella” following the Nets’ 102-98 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night before a sellout crowd of 17,732 at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
Considering how well Garnett played against the previously red-hot Warriors, it wasn’t that big of a joke.
Brooklyn’s 37-year-old future Hall of Fame power forward finally flashed the form that made him one of the NBA’s dominant inside presence’s during an 18-year career that has seen him capture an MVP award in Minnesota, as well as a world championship with the 2008 Boston Celtics.
Garnett scored 11 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter, pulled down four rebounds and collected four steals en route to his best all-around performance in a Nets uniform.
