Celtics coach Doc Rivers doesn't wonder where Kevin Garnett gets his energy.

“I think that’s who he is," Rivers said after the game. "Him and Eddie House are very similar. It is amazing. What you guys don’t see is when the lights are off and he’s in the locker room or on the bus or on the airplanes. You know the red-eye – when we landed at 8 a.m. he never slept. I watched two games, took an hour nap, and woke up and he was still – you could hear him all the way, I mean, he’s in the back of the plane and you can hear him dancing and laughing. It’s amazing. But Eddie House is right with him. So those two guys…energy guys are great for your team, it’s just rare when one of your best players is an energy guy as well. That’s a rare combination.”
