Glen Davis sat beside the practice court, recalling the last time the Boston Celtics led a playoff series 3-2. That happened just last year when an injured Kevin Garnett had his own seat at courtside. He watched helplessly in street clothes as the Celtics lost the next two games to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Now Boston holds a 3-2 lead in that same round against the Cleveland Cavaliers. But Garnett’s right knee is healthy again and he’s playing some of his best basketball of the season. His offense has picked up and on Tuesday night he directed a defense that shut down LeBron James in a 120-88 rout in Cleveland. But one more loss Thursday night in Boston and the team with the NBA’s best record won’t even reach the conference final. Orlando already has made it by sweeping Atlanta in four games.

The league’s MVP had one of his worst playoff games in Game 5, finishing with 15 points on 3-for-14 shooting after being blanked from the field in the first half. The Celtics Big Three of Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have been depicted at times as too old to carry the team to its second title in three years. They totaled 37 points in a 29-point loss in Game 3. But in Game 5, they combined for 64 in a 32-point victory. That’s where Garnett comes in. The 15-year veteran averaged 14.3 points during the regular season. But he’s been remarkably consistent against Cleveland, scoring 18, 18, 19, 18, and 18 points in the five games for an average of 18.2. He also leads the team with 7.2 rebounds per game. The Celtics want to feed him in the post where the 6-foot-11 Garnett can work on his 6-9 defender.
