Kevin Garnett Suspended For Boston’s Game 2 With Miami, Richardson Fined

Still curious about what Kevin Garnett did to draw a one-game suspension? Here’s video of the incident.

Cue cries of “The NBA has gone soft, it was so much better back in the day when you could actually fight!”

Meeting Miami for the first time in the postseason, the Celtics turned a four- point deficit in the opening minute of the fourth into a lead with a 12-1 run. Allen’s layup capped the flurry with 6:13 left for a 76-69 lead.

“I thought what he (Richardson) did was a bit of disrespect by standing over a guy that was hurt, just talking nonsense,” Garnett said. “Before you know it, it all just broke out. I’m a vet, I have to use my head, but the only thing I saw was Paul hurt. That’s the only thing I cared about at that time.”
