They still have a chance at the playoffs, and that is -their goal. But last night the Celtics got a glimpse of what the postseason weight title and give up the rival World Boxing Association's junior middleweight crown, which he won Saturday by defeating Julio Cesar Vas-quez Eleven days after surgeons removed a massive blood clot from his brain following his collapse at the end of a' 'brutal loss to WBC super middleweight champion Nigel Benn, Gerald McClellan was taken off sedation in a London hospital, where a neurosurgeon said he is "slowly but steadily FOOTBALL improving.

HOCKEY Colleges: UMass' O'Brien named top Atlantic 10 coach is all about and it wasn't pretty. Not only was it playoff weather outside, but back-to-backers against the Knicks made it almost seem like a best-of-something. And after New York made it two wins in 24 hours, Celtics coach Chris Ford had this to say: "This is a situation which is similar to what happens in the playoffs. You can't be happy playing well for part of one game, particularly when the second one is the next night and at home. It's all about mental toughness, and the Knicks had that mental toughness to sustain an effort for two nights." With the 108-100 loss, the Celtics fell to 24-35 and are now tied with Miami in the loss column for the eighth Eastern Conference playoff spot The Heat have played one fewer game (they host Portland tonight) and also have three more home games remaining (13) than the Celtics.

He could use a clue The estimable Marv Albert did the Knicks game for the MSG network Tuesday (as well as last night) and passed this along to his listeners concerning Dominique Wilkins: "I wonder how Dominique Wilkins would have reacted as a member of the Knicks. Dominique would be on the bench had he played his usual game with his shot selection philosophy. I think New York coach Pat Riley and Wilkins would have had a problem. The difference between Dominique and Earl Monroe is that Men's coach John Calipari gets Toolan of Trinity (22 ppg) was named most of the headlines, but yesterday ECAC Division 3 New England women's player of the year Merchant Marine forward Jamie Smith of Boston was named ECAC Division 3 Metro New YorkNew Jersey men's rookie of the year Connecticut safety Jemal Davis and offensive lineman Jason Appleby were arrested following a fight at a Storrs, bar last weekend that left another student hospitalized. tles in 1974 and 1976 Rick Fox, who continues to be bothered by his sore right foot, played only eight minutes but had 5 points and three assists.

In addition to the bad bruise he suffered last month, Fox has developed bone spurs. "It's something that will have to be corrected," said Ford, meaning, in all likelihood, offseason surgery Both the Celtics and Knicks had to wait until yesterday to fly to Boston (both had planned to fly in after Tuesday's game). The reason? Fog. The Celtics already had checked out of their hotel, so they had to get another set of rooms, which they did at a hotel near Newark Airport The Knicks have now won 10 straight against the Celtics, including six in a row in Boston. The Celtics have not beaten the Knicks in Boston since the end of the 1991-92 season, Larry Bird's last year.

Dominique does not have an understanding of the game. Earl Monroe did. Monroe was also able to complement himself with Walt Frazier. No one has ever been able to reach Dominique over the years. Dominique has a lack of understanding of what you're supposed to be doing out there, despite the great skills he has." Wilkins led the Celtics with 22 points, 14 of them in a garbage-time fourth quarter Ford said the Celtics plan to sign James Blackwell to a second 10-day contract when the first expires today Former Celtics player and coach Tom Heinsohn has been named the 1995 recipient of the Jack McMahon Award given annually by the NBA Coaches Association to a fellow coach who has made a contribution to the professsion.
