The Garden won’t go dark for the Celtics or Bruins

CHICAGO — The Garden bull gang lives another day.

The nectar of the gods will be pouring out of the taps at The Fours on Canal Street. The smell of stale pizza will be wafting through the air on the sidewalk outside Halftime Pizza on Causeway Street. Attendants holding fistfuls of twenties on Portland and Friend Streets will be taking your $40 for you to leave your car for four hours.

The Bruins and Celtics are still alive. Both survived Friday night scares and guaranteed that the Garden won’t be dark for the rest of this sports spring. Our winter teams have each bought at least one more date at the Garden. Maybe more. Maybe a lot more.
