His performance was increasingly outstanding, this was the first time this season Paul Pierce's single-game score surpassed Roger's.
But Roger, who only scored 25 points, once again became the focus after the game because he slam dunked over his old rival Karl Malone twice.
On December 10th, against the Timberwolves, Kevin Garnett was brutally taught a lesson.
Today, Garnett's stats are simply astonishing, 22 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, 7 steals!
He was just 3 steals short of a quadruple-double.
But Roger's 43 points for the entire game rendered Kevin Garnett's effort fruitless.
After the game ended, Roger deliberately said to Garnett while hugging him, "Hey, do a space walk and see."
Garnett suddenly felt embarrassed and scratched his head.
Roger said this because in the Timberwolves' previous game against the Heat, Garnett contributed his "fight and retreat" highlight.
Because of a conflict with Sprewell this summer, Garnett played very aggressively in the last game.
