Garnett and Celtics avoid their first loss

Kevin Garnett had 12 points and 11 rebounds in his third game back in Minnesota since he was traded in 2007, helping the Boston Celtics remain undefeated with a 92-90 victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday night.

Rajon Rondo scored 14 of his 18 points in the third quarter for the Celtics. Minnesota had a chance to tie the score in the last 10 seconds of the game, but Garnett forced a jump ball with Corey Brewer to clinch the win.
