Boston Celtics
Garnett can't understand why Celtics can't get it done away from Boston

CLEVELAND -- Kevin Garnett, like all Celtics’ fans, can’t put his finger on why the Celtics are dominating at home but struggling on the road in the playoffs.
“It’s pretty frustrating,” Garnett said. “Obviously you don’t want to start a game like we did tonight. It’s hard. You can’t spot a team 15-20 points and try to dig ourselves out of it. We talked about it in the locker room that we have to somehow, someway play with the same urgency like we play at home. Up until this point, we feel like we can play better and we will.”
The Celtics will have a film session Sunday and try to make some adjustments. First off will be a concerted effort to get off to a better start. The Cavs have out-played Boston in the first quarter in the last two games. The Celtics rebounded nicely in Game Tow at home but fell into a monstrous hole in Game Three.
“There’s no excuses for it. If we had the answers for it we won’t be getting beaten on the road,” said Garnett. “They came out with haymakers and tried to set the tone fofr being at home. We’ll make adjustments and try to turn this thing around.”
