Cut It Out, Leon!

Leon Powe hit a lay-up at the buzzer to propel the KG-less C's to an 88-86 victory over the host Timberwolves. The win capped an emotional night, in which Kevin Garnett returned to the scene of his years as the only real star on the Minnesota roster.

Ray Allen (reveler "2" in the Boston Three party), stole the ball on a kick-out with seconds remaining, which led to the "Powe"-tential winning bucket.

The Celtics are now 4-2 in the No-KG Era. Not the pace we saw earlier, but keeping them well ahead of the competition. Moreover, some of the "kids" are getting meaningful and successful minutes.
