BOSTON, MA — After helping his Celtics demolish the eighth-seeded Atlanta Hawks in game one of the their first-round NBA playoff series, a tearful Kevin Garnett apologized to fans for failing to embarrass his team with lackluster shooting, sloppy defense or an exaggerated injury. “I’m deeply sorry for failing to deliver what my fans have come to expect from me over the years,” said Garnett, who has only made it out of the first round of the playoffs once. “I’ll make sure I bring my A-game next time.” In the past, Garnett’s A-game had included a dazzling combination of fourth quarter cowardice and occasional moments of downright ineptitude.
