After the Rockets defeated the Celtics Garnett walked over to McHale embracing him and sharing some words that clearly resonated. The hug lasted for several seconds and at the end of the interaction they appeared to bring McHale to tears. The two men share a long history as Garnett was drafted by the Timberwolves in 1995, a decision that was made by McHale as VP of Basketball Operations for the Minnesota franchise at the time. McHale was also the one who traded Garnett to the Celtics, and after 12 seasons together there, the bond between the two men that was formed remains strong to this day.
