Kevin Garnett paid no mind to the Boston Celtics winning their sixth straight game Thursday night, claiming he's not even conscious of the streak.

But the Celtics are on a roll, right?

"We've got a little rhythm," Garnett said.

Garnett scored 20 points and the Celtics improved to an NBA-best 8-1 away from home, beating the San Antonio Spurs 90-83. They'll wrap up a four-game road swing Friday at Oklahoma City, when the Celtics will go for a season-best seventh consecutive win.

"That's the make or break of the trip," Celtics forward Rasheed Wallace said. "It'll be a downer if we don't go in there tomorrow and come out with a W."
