The Boston Celtics are alive
and well in the National Basket-
ball Association after all. And,
by the way, so are the San
Francisco Warriors
Both teams, bothered by key
injuries most of the regular sea-
son, looked ead after disap-
pointing finishes in the stand-
ings. But nothing revitalizes a
team like the playoffs, and the
Celts and Warriors were alive
and winging Wednesday night
Boston surprised Philadelphia
114-100 behind Bill Russell in the
opener of their best-of-seven
next two years.
Now he is back and nothing
has changed, except his posi-
tion. Murcer now is playing
third base, but the cheers still
remain. particularly after he
rapped his 21st and 22nd hits of
the spring Wednesday in the
Yankees 7-2 exhibition victory
