The St. Louis Hawks beat the Boston Celtics in a laugher in St. Louis 114-91. The Celtics defense was scorched as the Hawks set an NBA record with 63 1st half points. Not only the Boston defense not working, so was their offense as they went a full five minutes at 1 point without a basket. The Hawks led the game from beginning to end. Tempers flared near the end of the game as the Celtics' Jim Loscutoff fought with the Hawks' Don Schaeffer after a foul by Schaefer, and then the Celtics' Dick Hemric went at with the Hawks' Chuck Share. The Celtics record for the year dropped to 26-20.
