Celtics forward Kevin Garnett saw a simple question about an offensive foul call that seemed to stir the TD Garden crowd as an opportunity to shower Boston fans with appreciation, then took a shot at Philadelphia fans for good measure.

Asked about the call and the spark it seemed to provide the fans as well as the Celtics, Garnett said, “Man, we’re sparked. This damn crowd here sparks you. It doesn’t take much here, man.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, to be honest. But when speaking about this crowd, it’s like plugging in, man. You’re enthused for 48 minutes on, from tip on. So I can’t see the difference between minute from minute. I feel like every minute I look up I see my family, I see people yelling, I see the drunk fat guy. I can’t decipher. I’m telling you, I can’t decipher one from the other. This crowd is ridiculous. I love it.”
