...short of the National Basketball Association record. The winning streak ended when Philadelphia edged them next night in a squeaker, 104-100. But with 31 games still to play, their season's record is 41-8, which gives them a 7½-game lead over the second-place Cincinnati Royals - a team they have beaten six straight times this season. Embarrassment seems to be the only thing that could possibly keep the Celtics from winning their seventh straight N.B.A. Championship...
...they have nobody to match the point-scoring potential of the Los Angeles Lakers' Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, the playmaking abilities of Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson and Jerry Lucas.

All that fuss over a 17-year-old who has only grown one inch in the last two years...
...East: a 124-123 victory over the West in the National Basketball Association's All-Star game; in St. Louis. Paced by Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson (who scored 28 points) and Jerry Lucas (25), the easterners built up a 20-point lead in the third quarter, barely hung on to win when officials, apparently deciding that a lopsided victory would never do, stopped calling fouls against the outclassed West...
