Given that the NBA game between the Boston Celtics and the then-Philadelphia Warriors in Philadelphia on February 14th 1960 was telecast only on the old WHDH-5 in Boston and WCSH-6 Portland, could this have been a local telecast originated by the former and fed to the latter??
 
WHDH often picked up NBA games from NBC during this era, in addition to some live Celtics games. Being it was a Sunday it was most likely an NBC broadcast.
