St. Louis, deeply entrenched in cellar not too long ago, pushed slumping Minneapolis into last place on way to first-place tie with Fort Wayne in NBA Western Division while Rochester emerged from 11-game losing streak to take over third place. In East, Boston was still top banana as Philadelphia, New York and Syracuse battled for runner-up spot.
