Boston Bruins Honor Marathon Bombing Victim Before Game 2

Security Guard Celebration Is An Homage To Rasheed Wallace
It's natural to focus on all the Knicks celebrating Raymond Felton's huge, buzzer-beating three at the end of the third quarter of today's Boston win. Melo is pumped up. So is Tyson Chandler.
