Sixers protest Celtics loss as replay hopes rise
Philadelphia coach Alex Hannum vowed to file a protest after a 113-112 defeat to Boston at the Garden. He alleged six Celtics were on the floor during a late inbounds sequence, a claim refuted by officials Kennedy would review after receiving their report. Wilt Chamberlain scored 30 but hit only eight of 22 free throws as Boston narrowed the East race. St Louis Hawks won 118-115 in a West squeeze with Cincinnati rally thwarted.
