Preseason Game #3: Boston 100, New Jersey 93

[recap] [box score]

By all accounts -- accounts to which I will link below -- this was the most encouraging outing of the preseason for Kevin Garnett as he returns from knee surgery. Marquis Daniels also reportedly had a strong performance, and you can see from the box score as well as I can that Paul Pierce and Eddie House were in mid-season form.

Other than KG's return and the integration of Rashed Wallace and Daniels into the rotation, the only somewhat interesting ongoing story to arise in this preseason is whether Mike Sweetney will beat out J.R. Giddens (or anyone else, but Giddens is probably on the thinnest ice) for the 15th and final roster spot. Given that both of them played exactly one minute, forty-three seconds against the Nets, I've decided that it's not terribly important.
