From the AP:
Winning streaks are nice and all, but Kevin Garnett prefers something more tangible - like a championship ring.
''Unless you win it all, it's pretty much steam in the air: You see it, and then it evaporates,'' Garnett said after scoring 18 points to lead the Boston Celtics to a franchise-record 19th consecutive victory, 110-91 over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.
The Celtics will go for 20 in a row against the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day in a rematch of last spring's NBA finals, which Boston won in six games for its unprecedented 17th league title. The crowd couldn't wait, chanting ''Beat L.A!'' with 5:27 left to play against the Sixers.
''I totally appreciate the whole history of the Lakers and Celtics and the tradition, the players who've come through both teams, the foundations of this league,'' Garnett said. ''But to put all the eggs in one basket on one game, or that we circle it ... we circle all the games, and if you're on the schedule we don't decline any shows.''
