The Celtics spent Christmas day 1955 in Minneapolis and did the same thing to the Minneapolis Lakers that they did to them 5 days earlier in Madison Square Garden and that's come back to gain a win on the Lakers. The Celtics had a 40 point 4th quarter to take a 115-112 victory and push their record for the season to 12-9. Clyde Lovellette of the Lakers led all scorers with 35 points, while Boston's star guards Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman both scored 25 points. Attendance for the game was only 2,962.
