Kevin Garnett says he feels good ``going back to the jungle.''

Those familiar ``Beat L.A! Beat L.A!'' chants that have echoed through the Garden during so many springtimes will be booming again, and the Celtics can lock up an 18th NBA title if they can do just that three times.

Game 2 is Tuesday night, followed by games Thursday and Sunday in Boston.
