Morning Sports Update: Marshall Faulk wants to ‘see the tapes’ to resolve Spygate suspicions
Good morning, sports fans
Marshall Faulk wishes there was a way to put Spygate to bed, Roger Goodell reports there were no PSI violations in 2015, the Celtics sink the Knicks, 97-89, and the Bruins fall, 4-3, to the Maple Leafs in overtime.
Marshall Faulk says he still wants to ‘see the tapes’ from Spygate: “The former Rams running back and Pro Football Hall of Famer is still under the impression that New England taped a St. Louis walkthrough leading up to Super Bowl XXXVI. It’s a belief he’s held for years — despite the fact that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said there is no evidence that the Patriots taped the Rams illegally — and one he touched on briefly during a conversation with Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio.’’ (CSNNE.com)

Roger Goodell: NFL found no air pressure violations this season: “We’re pleased that we haven’t had any violations and we continue the work, obviously, to consistently and importantly enforce the integrity of the game and the rules that are designed to protect it,’’ Goodell told Rich Eisen.

Celtics score five points in one possession in win over Knicks: “Trailing the New York Knicks by seven points early at Madison Square Garden, the Celtics picked things up by scoring five points on a single possession. Yes, five. Here’s how it went down.’’ (NESN.com)

David Krejci says Bruins ‘used to have a killer instinct’: “You know we used to have a killer instinct when we were up two goals in the third,’’ Krejci said. “We would go out there, and we were pushing for the next one. But today was a frustrating game, like I said.’’ (CSNNE.com)
Celtics jump to No. 8 in ESPN’s Week 14 NBA Power Rankings: “There is much joy in Boston because Isaiah Thomas is 13 days away from joining Calvin Murphy as the shortest All-Star of all time at 5-foot-9, as well as the lowest draft pick (No. 60) to become an All-Star since the league went to a two-round draft in 1989.’ (ESPN.com)
Bruins must use trade deadline to establish an identity: “The Boston Bruins are in purgatory, a mishmash of streakiness that has surprisingly put the team in playoff position after last summer’s purge, but with an inconsistency that is the equation resulting from the sum of its parts.’’ (Boston.com)
