A roundup of the sports information of the week

BASKETBALL—NBA: PHILADELPHIA (64-12) clinched its second successive Eastern Division title by defeating the Celtics in Boston 115-113 on Hal Greer's 25-foot jump shot with two seconds left in overtime. The 76ers, who won two other games during the week, then lost a return match with the Celtics at home when Player-Coach Bill Russell tossed in a 15-foot basket with two seconds remaining. Runner-up BOSTON (57-19), whose nine-game winning streak was snapped by the 76ers, also lost to the Bulls but took its other two games. In the battle for third place, CINCINNATI (35-42) moved within half a game of NEW YORK (36-42) as the Royals won two of three and the Knicks dropped two. Worse yet for the injury-ridden Knicks was the loss of Dave Stallworth for the rest of the season (he suffered a heart attack). BALTIMORE (19-58) fell deeper into the cellar with three more defeats. In the Western Division SAN FRANCISCO (41-34) gained the title although the Warriors dropped both games they played. Center Nate Thurmond, wearing a cast on his broken hand, returned after missing 13 games but he couldn't stop the Warriors' skid (10 losses in 15 games). ST. LOUIS (36-41) won three of four and held second place by 1½ games over LOS ANGELES (35-43), which took three of six. Driving hard for a playoff spot, CHICAGO (30-46) won two of three games and seven of 10 to climb briefly out of last place during the week, but DETROIT (30-46) tied the Bulls by week's end with two victories in four games.
