MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Garnett’s old home doesn’t feel like home anymore.

On his most recent return to Target Center -- he led Boston to a 92-90 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night -- Garnett was cheered wildly by the crowd, just like in the old days.

He delivered an all-around performance that was critical to victory, just like in the old days.

But as he looked around in his third trip to Minnesota since the Timberwolves traded him to the Celtics in 2007 -- at the franchise he helped put on the map and the arena he practically helped build -- it has never felt more foreign to him.

Almost everyone is gone from the KG era in Minnesota. Not one teammate remains from his final year in 2006-07. The architect -- Kevin McHale, who drafted Garnett straight out of high school in 1995 -- was ushered out this summer by owner Glen Taylor and new president of basketball operations David Kahn.
