...once vaunted Celtics had slipped into the role of also-ran, missing the playoffs in 1970 and 1971. Now they have regained their old form; they are leading the league with a startling record of 40 wins and only seven losses. And the difference is clearly Cowens, whose court credo is "go all out all the time at both ends of the floor." That means everything: blocking shots, skidding headlong across the hardwood in a scramble for the ball, leading fast breaks and rifling jump passes half the length of the court.

Like AA. Like most Recovery, Inc. meetings, this was a highly structured affair, with a solemn, inspirational tone reminiscent of Alcoholics Anonymous. But just as the twelve-step credo of AA, which would turn off a normal social drinker, has real significance for the man who has faced the horrors of dipsomania, so the ritual of Recovery, Inc. is acceptable, perhaps necessary, for many who have gone through the hell of emotional breakdown...
