BOSTON -- Kevin Garnett was fouled underneath the basket and went hard to the court. He remained on his back, motionless, as his teammates rushed over to check on him and offer a hand.The Boston Celtics center ignored them, instead gingerly rolling over onto his stomach before extending his arms to ease himself off the court. Down and up he went, pushing off the floor on his knuckles eight times for some postseason pushups.For the first time in the Eastern Conference finals, Boston was having fun with the Miami Heat.'I'm getting crap about my form, but I want people to know it's because it was on my knuckles,' Garnett joked in the locker room after leading Boston to a 101-91 victory over the Heat that cut Miami's lead in the best-of-seven series to 2-1.
