Yes, with one notable exception. The National Football League played a
full schedule that weekend by order of Commissioner Pete Rozelle. I seem
to recall him regretting the decision years later.
 
I have the Boston Evening Globe from that day (I was 8 at the time, but
already into news) and it mentions the cancellation of that night's
Celtics game.
