December 20, 1955 MSG Doubleheader- Celtics beat Lakers and Nationals beat Knicks
In a doubleheader at Madison Square Garden in the feature game the defending champion Syracuse Nationals beat the Knicks 98-91 in a game they controlled from start to finish. In front of 9,280 fans the Nationals raced to a early 19 point lead in the 1st quarter they never relinquished. The Knicks failed to get rebounds, passed wildly and had a subpar game in general. Johnny Kerr was the high scorer for the Nationals with 29 points and Carl Braun had 20 for the Knicks.
In the 1st game the Celtics defeated the Lakers 111-104. It was close game that was tied 12 different times. The Celtics found themselves down 97-90 before Ed Macauley and Jack Nichols led the Celtics roaring back to take a 111-104 victory. Jack Nichols had 22 points for the Celtics in victory. In a notable occurrence earlier in the contest referee Jack Stutz stopped the game because of fans throwing steel paper clips onto the court. Laker Ed Kalafat was hit by the clips but wasn't injured. The win improved the Celtics record to 11-9.

December 11, 1955 Celtics lose to Nationals, Bribe Offered To Nats Coach Al Cervi
The defending NBA Champion Syracuse Nationals had their 7th straight home win defeating the Boston Celtics 101-89 in Syracuse. Before the game Al Cervi the Nationals coach was called 4 straight times by a caller but he didn't pick up the phone, the 5th time an office attendant was left with the message, "Tell Cervi to lose this game or not to win by more than 6 points. Tell him there will be $1000 in it for him and a couple hundred for yourself." When he found about it Cervi told the team president Don Biasone who called the police, and the call was traced to Minneapolis. Boston led the game early before Syracuse made three straight baskets to go up at halftime and they never looked back.
