According to an NBA source, Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has decided not to have surgery on his knee with the hope of playing in the upcoming NBA playoffs.
The source told The Eagle-Tribune that knee surgery has been an option, but the Celtics veteran decided against it feeling he would have little to no chance [...]

In case you saw a ton of police in Salisbury today…. there was an interesting bust at 4 convenience stores that police say were running illegal video gambling rings. We’ve posted a short story on our “breaking news” section of our Website, and tomorrow’s paper will have a much more detailed account. If the tips that [...]
Pitt’s up 65-63 on Villanova with 3:57 left.
But the Panthers better start making their free throws. They’re 17 of 25 (68.0 percent), which isn’t gonna cut it if the game remains close.
Villanova, on the other hand, is 16 for 16. DeJuan Blair is 2 for 6. Fouling the big man isn’t the worst [...]
The past few minutes have been fast-paced. Finally. ‘Nova is clinging to a 54-51 lead.
Sam Young has 20 points. He can shoot.
As the dude sitting behind me keeps reminding Jamie Dixon in a hoarse voice, Villanova’s Dante Cunningham has three fouls.
Pitt guard Jermaine Dixon just left the game with a leg injury.
This priceless exchange was just brought to my attention. It happened during the UConn press conference after the Huskies beat Missouri today to earn a trip to the Final Four.
Reporter: Hakeem?
Hasheem Thabeet: It’s Hasheem.
Reporter: I’m sorry. Or I could just call you [...]
This one has actually gone down predictably. Pitt is up 34-32 at the half.
Villanova’s shooting 34.4 percent, Pittsburgh’s shooting 41.7.
Again, the game doesn’t have too much pace to it. Should come down to the wire…
DeJuan Blair just got his first breather of the game at 4:45. He’s 265 pounds for God’s sake. Give the man some rest.
Seriously though, the Panthers are going to need him down the stretch. Can he stay strong playing a ton of minutes? We shall see.
Neither team has found a groove. No real [...]
DeJuan Blair’s driving layup and foul shot made it 22-20 Villanova.
The ‘Cats had a 10-point lead a few minutes ago, but the Panthers finally look like they’re waking up.
Sam Young has quietly scored eight points. He’s smooth out there.
Villanova is rolling. The Wildcats are up 10-5. Scottie Reynolds, the 6-foot-2 junior guard from Herndon, Va., already has five points. The kid has blazing speed. Pitt squeaked by against Xavier. There’s no chance the Panthers will be able to do that tonight.
Once again, Jamie Dixon looks like he’s going to blow a gasket. [...]
The Garden isn’t quite at capacity yet. I’d say about 70 percent. Pitt’s Oakland Zoo fan section, which is right behind me, is pretty loud already. No buckets in the first six possessions before DeJuan Blair scores the first of the game, as my colleague Chris Ryan points out.
3-2 ‘Nova at 16:30.
