4/1/62:
Boston center Bill Russell scores 29 points, helping the Celtics build up a 23-point lead and cruise to a 119-104 victory over the Philadelphia Warriors for a 3-2 lead in their NBA Eastern Conference final-round series. Emotions between the two arch rivals spill over in the fourth quarter when several skirmishes break out. Celtics guard Sam Jones picks up a photographer’s stool to defend himself against Wilt Chamberlain after they collide in the lane. Later, Celtics reserve Carl Braun mixes it up with Philadelphia’s Al Attles, and then Guy Rodgers of the Warriors grabs the same stool to fend off Boston’s Jim Loscutoff. Veteran referee Sid Borgia doesn’t issue any ejections in a “boys will be boys” interpretation of the rules. Boston will win this series in seven games.
