Our news partner Channel 5 is reporting that a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing has been killed and police are searching for the second following a wild gunfight in Watertown early this morning.

WALTHAM – The Celtics may be sitting 12 games behind the Knicks with two games left in the regular season, and may have lost the season series to New York. But don’t try to convince the team that has played in three NBA Finals in the past six seasons that it is embarking on any type of monumental-upset campaign when it opens up playoff action at Madison Square Garden next Saturday against a franchise that hasn’t won a playoff series in 13 years.

WALTHAM – Kevin Garnett appeared refreshed and eager to get back out on the court with his teammates for the first time in more two weeks before Saturday morning’s workout at the Celtics training facility. While he wouldn’t commit to playing Sunday night vs. Washington, Garnett said the time off has helped alleviate his foot/ankle pain, as well as “heal up other things that’s been nagging.”

BOSTON – When Kevin Garnett was prescribed two weeks rest to get the inflammation in his left ankle under control for the playoffs, Celtics coach Doc Rivers said the silver lining in the situation was that the team may just find something in one of his replacements that will also help it in the postseason. It looks like the Celtics may have just found something in journeyman forward Shavlik Randolph.
