Sport: Basketball's Best
(2 of 2)
Though the Celtics draw heavily on the road, Boston fans often seem jaded with their victories at home (26 in 28 games this year). Average attendance at Boston Garden is only 8,500, off 1,000 from the peak three years ago when the rise to fame was beginning. To increase interest, Celtic Owner Walter Brown is convinced the N.B.A. needs more and better-balanced teams, is willing to pass up his first draft choice of the nation's college stars to help a new club get started. Even so, age and injuries seem to be the only foes with a chance of ending the Celtics' reign as basketball's best.
