bob: some would say the celtics' three-game losing streak was due to the absences of al horford and jae crowder. but isaiah thomas would say, and he did say, it's because the celtics aren't the hardest playing team anymore. but last night, still without horford and crowder, thomas and his tank engine steamrolled over the knicks, 115-87. veterans day yesterday, and members of the military get a standing ovation and some much deserved thank-you's. and after isaiah thomas called his team out for not playing hard enough, he went out and led the way with a 23-point first half and finished the game with 29. second quarter, carmelo anthony the ref has had more than enough. he t's him up. it's a second technical and an automatic ejection. goodbye, melo. a little more from thomas. nice move to the hoop. celtics led by 10 at the break and added to it in the third quarter. and the knicks mailed it in from there. jalen brown with two of his 10, and the celtics go on to win by 28, 115-87. they play at indiana tonight. boston college loses to florida state last night 45-7. and the bruins are in the desert

the close call. diane: take a look at this surveillance video as the car came crashing into the window with customers sitting inside. >> all of a sudden, i heard that huge sound like an explosion and the car's in here. diane: just moments before that happened, you can see the car in the parking lot turning into a space in front of the restaurant. >> thank god nobody got hurt. diane: the owner says the driver also appeared to be okay. he says she told police she just had her car detailed and that a floor mat got stuck under the brake pedal. installed shatterproof glass which kept employees and customers from being injured. >> if it was regular glass, it could have been a lot of people get hurt. diane: we're told customers had minor cuts and scrapes and the driver is doing okay. in fact, the owner says she came in and ordered food and drove away in the same car. in danvers, diane cho, wcvb newscenter 5. antoinette: 5 investigates, imagine the pay for a job skyrocketing nearly 600%

some bridge workers on a publicly funded job. doug: so how did it happen and are taxpayers getting their money's worth? here's investigative reporter kathy curran. kathy: the blynman bridge in gloucester. one of the busiest drawbridges on the east coast. >> come in, please. kathy: a captain calls for passage. the bridge operator strolls out of this trailer up to the bridge house, puts the safety gate down, and opens the bridge for the boats below. >> thank you. kathy: he closes the bridge, makes note of the vessels passing through and heads back inside where photos obtained by 5 investigates show a comfortable workplace complete with a futon for resting and a flatscene tv. -- flat screen tv. it's a state contracted job that records show pays between $75 and $120 an hour. that's at least $156,000 taxpayer dollars a year for a

paycheck than the governor of our state. >> i was getting $13.50 an hour. kathy: frank and pete were shocked by that $75 an hour rate. they worked for the bridge for about a decade until they were laid off last year. you hear somebody's getting paid $75 an hour. what went through your mind? >> what's wrong with this picture? kathy: here's what happened. that massive increase pay increase kicked in when the state began maintenance on the bridge and bridge house. the state said that triggered the prevailing wage law which requires workers be paid a wage found in existing union contracts, and that rate is usually much higher than the going rate in the market. >> >> blynman bridge is a poster

kathy: greg sullivan says massachusetts is one of only a handful of states that sets the prevailing wage that way. the median hourly wage nationally for a bridge tender is $22.10 an hour. >> it just seems like a huge waste. >> massachusetts is in a tough financial situation right now. when you see it wasted on something like this, it makes you pull your hair out. kathy: 5 investigates found even this pig is feeding from the taxpayer trough. we discovered one of those bringing her breakfast during the workday more than an hour away from the job site. the bridge is maintained through a contract with the state department of transportation. a massdot spokesperson told us because a contractor is involved in the work, they're obligated to pay the prevailing wage. they also told us bridge operators perform other duties on-site, but our investigation found them just sitting in the

>> it just doesn't seem to make sense to me. kathy: the total cost to operate the bridge for the first six months of the year was almost half a million dollars. as far as that pig is concerned, a lawyer told us workers do feed the pig, but not during work hours. but they told massdot a very different story, that the employee we saw was on vacation. the state is now reviewing all of the work logs. kathy curran, 5 investigates. doug: kathy, thank you. the coast guard rescues two boaters in boston harbor. silent passage ran aground near lovells island yesterday. they tried to wait for high tide but the high winds made that plan too dangerous. the coast guard sent a helicopter to lift the men off the boat to safety. nobody was hurt. meanwhile, a tragedy on a new hampshire lake. people watching from shore say a 62-year-old strafford woman appeared to be having trouble paddling through the choppy waters on bow lake when her kayak went over. crews say the winds were gusting

>> there are so many men and women coming back and transitioning out of the military back into civilian life now. and it's difficult. people don't understand that sometimes, you know. and we miss so badly our brothers and sisters that didn't make it back, you know. and we feel -- we feel guilty. doug: there are also veterans day ceremony held at the state house that included a salute outside the memorial of the massachusetts 54th regiment which fought in the civil war. antoinette: a new program is now available to help veterans move back to civilian life. attorney general maura healey announcing the new grant over the veterans day holiday. it includes funding for legal, housing and educational assistance. doug: a belmont bakery damaged in an oven explosion is looking for a new home. it's the latest setback for ohlin's bakery. the family business was working out of the same building for more than a hundred years. now the landlord says reopening the bakery is impossible. the costs for rebuilding are too

wind. nothing compared to those strong winds of yesterday. but a light enough wind that we do see that wind-chill factor. so our thermometers are reading the 30's. 31 in worcester. 36 in boston. but those wind chills are down into the 20's. this is what it's feeling like as you're heading out this morning. it's feeling like 22 degrees in pittsfield this morning, 20 in worcester, and even along the coast, 27-degree wind chill in boston chills in the lower to mid 30's. our winds will be a huge factor for today. not as strong as yesterday but it's about the direction today. the winds are blowing from the northwest. that's going to keep us chilly. as we head into the late afternoon, evening, they start to turn and eventually move in from the west to even southwest. and when that occurs, that's when we start to see clouds move in this evening, but it's going to help bring mild conditions

time of year. satellite/radar looking dry overhead. no signs of rain in our future. this is the direction of the weather coming in for us. a few clouds but no signs of any real precipitation. just a real chill in the air as we progress throughout our region. let's zoom in and take a look at those temperatures today. north and west, we're mainly in the upper 40's. burlington at 49 de around west from 5 to 15 miles an hour. now we move over toward worcester where we see mid 40's. spencer at 46. we jump into the 50's by tomorrow afternoon. upper 50's by monday. check out overnight temperatures, down to the 30's. next couple of evenings are going to stay chilly. moving down toward the south
