Disappearing act

It’s as if Kevin Garnett is on a revenge tour, going around the NBA and checking off the names of anybody who dunked on him, doubted, or trash-talked the Celtics forward last season when he was coming back from knee surgery.

And after the battles they had last spring, Washington’s Andray Blatche, of course, was on the list.

Garnett got in Blatche’s head during a close victory in March, using a lip-to-cheek maneuver to derail the Wizards forward’s 23-point night. But when they met a month later, Blatche was tougher — putting up 31 points and 11 rebounds in a Wizards victory that sent a message to Garnett.

Garnett filed it away until last night, at TD Garden, when the Wizards returned. Blatche’s numbers (10 points, three rebounds) didn’t tell the story as much as one play in the third quarter when Garnett grabbed a pass along the baseline, spun off Blatche and hoisted up a shot.
