"Among other things, the Celtics suffered from their first serious lack of poise since the first round against Miami, when Kevin Garnett served a one-game suspension for his ejection after elbowing the Heat's Quentin Richardson.

The Celtics forward was whistled for his third technical last night early in the third quarter after getting into an argument under the basket with several members of the Magic in the 96-92 overtime loss.

Garnett finally pushed away Matt Barnes, who appeared to be attempting to calm Garnett down.

Garnett's technical actually appeared to push the Celtics emotionally in the short run, but when Rasheed Wallace was whistled for his fourth T of the postseason early in the fourth, the C's fortunes went south. J.J. Redick's free throw gave Orlando a three-point lead (71-68), and Redick came back with a 3-pointer seconds later."
