The yellow warm-up shirts Celtics players wore Saturday during their game vs. the Knicks will be sold as part of a fundraiser for the The One Fund Boston, raising money for victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Adidas created 2,620 of the shirts, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to The One Fund Boston. The shirts will be available to consumers at Celtics.com/shop, NBAStore.com, adidas.com, the ProShop at the TD Garden, the NBA Store in New York as well as Adidas retail locations.
The Celtics are also pledging $100,000 from the Shamrock Foundation. In addition, the team is providing ticket holders for the cancelled April 16 game vs the Indiana Pacers the opportunity to donate their refund for that game. Celtics fans may also make direct donations through the Shamrock Foundation.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Two foreign nationals have been arrested on immigration violations in New Bedford, Mass., where police say the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect may have once lived. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says the two were taken into custody by Homeland Security agents. But an ICE spokesman isn't saying if they're connected to the suspect. -

The Washington Post on how the bombing investigation evolved:The work was painstaking and mind-numbing: One agent watched the same segment of video 400 times. The goal was to construct a timeline of images, following possible suspects as they moved along the sidewalks, building a narrative out of a random jumble of pictures from thousands of different phones and cameras.

Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino took a hard line this morning when asked about the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bomb attacks.
"I hope that the US Attorney takes him on the federal side and throws the book at him," Menino told ABC's "This Week" program. "These two individuals held this city hostage for five whole days."
Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, remains hospitalized in serious condition at Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center, where he was taken Friday once he was in police custody.
