Boston outscored the Pacers 94-84 last Wednesday. The Celtics have an overall record of 1-2 so far this season.

Bruins:

Boston tied Los Angeles 4 all last Monday. They also suffered a loss to the Hartford Whalers last Wednesday, losing 1-5. Boston is now 6-7-1 overall and fifth in the Northeast Division after losing another game to Edmonton, 6-0, on Thursday.

The Boston College football team has suspended 13 of its players as a result of betting alligations made early last week. Players were found to have bet on college football, pro football and pro baseball including the World Series. Two of the players had even bet against their own team. There is no proof that any of the BC game outcomes were comprimised as a result of the betting.
