BOSTON, Mar. II (AP).-
Boston, playing "only IS per
cent of its potential" according
to Capt. Bob Cousy. has the
jump in the Eastern Division
playoffs thanks to its defense
against Philadelphia corner
men.
The defending champions de-
feated the Warriors, 111-105,
last night in the opener of the
National Basketball Associa-
tion's best = of seven division
finals. Action moves to Phila-
delphia tomorrow night.
After building up a 37-24
first-period lead and domi-
mating the first half, the
Celtics finely meshed attack be-
gan to sputter. Philadelphia
closed to within two points,
104-102, before regulars Tom
HeinSohn, Bill Sharman and
Cousy hustled in off the bench
to save the day for the Celtics.
Arizin, SauIdsberry Held
In the Boston dressing room,
it was agreed that while Wilt
Chamberlain, the L foot = 2
Philly giant, got his ~ points,
the key was that Paul Arizin
was held to l8 and Woody
Sauldsberry to six.
The forwards must share the
scoring load with Wilt for the
Warriors just as CelticS' back
colrtmen Cousy and Sharman
are counted on to deliver heavy
punches.
Arizin and Sauldsberry to-
gether had averaged 81 points
against Boston in their regular
season meetings.
Neither club was happy with
its game
Coach Red Auerbach ordered
a morning workout at Boston
Garden for his Celtics.
II think the Celtics played

tential and will play better
