February 10,1956- Celtics trounce Hawks, Lapchick honored at Boston Garden
In a doubleheader of basketball in front of 9000 fans at the Boston Garden the Boston Celtics raced out to an early lead and beat the St. Louis Hawks 124-100. In the early game the Syracuse Nationals beat the New York Knicks 94-88 in Joe Lapchick's last game as Knicks coach. The Knicks started out strong taking a 46-38 halftime lead. Ed Conlin of the Nats who was scoreless in the 1st half picked up steam in the 2nd half scoring all of his 18 points in the 2nd half. Earl Lloyd, Ed Conlin, and Dolph Schayes scored 22 of the Nats 24 4th quarter points for the Nats to put the Knicks away. Jim Baechtold of the Knicks led all scorers with 27 points.
In between the doubleheader games the Knicks coach Joe Lapchick who had just coached his last NBA game was presented to the Boston crowd and he received a resounding ovation. He was given a woodworking kit by the basketball writers and broadcasters, and Walter Brown the president and owner of the Boston Garden and Boston Celtics gave Lapchick a set of golf clubs.
In the 2nd game the Boston Celtics came out strong to beat the Hawks 124-100. The Celtics never trailed in the game while playing their starters sparingly. The rout was on early as the Celtics led by 24 in the 2nd period. Bill Sharman was the outstanding player shooting 12 for 16 from the field, 6 for 6 from the line and scoring 30 points. The Celtics record for the season was brought to 30-24.

February 9,1956- Celtics beat Nats on last second shot
In a hard fought game that featured 18 ties, the Celtics beat the Nationals 98-97 after Bob Cousy made a last second shot. The game was played in Syracuse in front of 2,646 fans at the War Memorial, the game was tight the entire way. The Nationals found themselves down by one with 12 seconds left when Eddie Conlin of the Nationals sinked in a shot with 7 seconds left to give the Nats the lead but that left too much time for the Celtics. Bob Cousy scored on a shot that went in as time expired, the Nationals protested the shot shouldn't count but it didn't matter. Bob Cousy didn't score a field goal in the 1st half and he finished up with 17. Jack Nichols led the Celtics with 23. The win brought the Celtics season record to 29-24.

February 9, 1956- Celtics vs Nats Preview
Originally published in the Syracuse Post Standard 2/9/56 written by Jack Andrews
The Celtics have whipped the Nats in five of eight games this season, winning the last four and hitting at least 100 points in all of them. The Celtics, incidentally, surpassed the Warriors' 128 points in regulation by whipping St. Louis, 133-112, Jan. 20.
The Celtics have proved the biggest attraction here this season and, of course the big reason for that is Bob "The Wizard" Cousy. The ball-handling magician had his troubles against Syracuse earlier (particularly when George King was harassing him) but he caught fire for 32 points when the Celtics whipped the Nats in overtime the last time they were here. He kept firing in the two games that followed.
They Have Rebounders
Cousy ranks close behind seventh-ranking Adolph Schayes in NBA scoring. His teammates, Bill Sharman and Ed Macauley are fifth and sixth.
However, the Celtics are making a bold bid for the divisional pennant because they have rebounders like Jungle Jim Loscutoff, Jack Nichols, Arnie Risen, Rookie Dick Stemric and Red Morrison. Nichols is the fourth and last man in Boston's double figure average scoring. Ernie Barrett, a reliable spot shooter, and Togo Palazzi, Red Auerbach's forgotten man, round out the visiting cast.
All Nats' coach Al Cervi could say yesterday was: "We'll keep trying." He didn't pick a starting lineup.

February 8, 1956- Celtics fall to Hawks 111-110 on last second shot
In a doubleheader of basketball in Rochester, the Boston Celtics lost to the St. Louis Hawks 111-110 on a last second shot by Bob Pettit in the first game. The Hawks were playing catchup for most of the game early on trailing by as many as 13 in the 2nd period before rallying to tie the score at 100 with four minutes remaining in the game. Bob Cousy sinked in a hook shot with 22 seconds left to give the C's a 108-106 lead. Alex Hannum then had a 3 point play for the Hawks to go up 109-108 with 9 seconds left. Bob Cousy scored immediately to give the C's a 110-109 lead with 5 seconds remaining. Alex Hannum then threw up a desperate shot but luckily for the Hawks Bob Pettit was right there to tip in the ball to give the win to the Hawks. Pettit was the high scorer of the game with 36 points.
In the 2nd game of the doubleheader the Knicks controlled the game throughout the entire contest to beat the Rochester Royals 102-97. Ken Sears led the Knicks with 26 points.

January 31, 1956 Hawks rout Celtics 114-91 set NBA record
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.

The Knicks 122 points set a franchise record for points in a game. The Knicks led the game the entire way with Gene Shue scoring 22 points, with 21 of them in the 1st half, and Kenny Sears was the man in the 2nd half with 18 of his 27 points coming in the 2nd half. Clyde Lovellette led the Lakers with 27 points and Whitey Skoog had 18.
In the feature game of the doubleheader the Boston Celtics beat the St. Louis Hawks 133-112. The 245 points tied a NBA record for combined point total, while the Celtics set a franchise record with 133 points. The Celtics offense was flowing the entire game as they connected on 51 out of 106 shots. The Celtics improved their season record to 23-15.
