The Boston Celtics avoided elimination in Game 5 with a statement 107-102 win over the New York Knicks — and they did it without Jason Tatum. Derrick White exploded for 34 points, hitting 7 threes, while Boston's bench stepped up in a major way. Peyton Pritchard dropped 17 off the bench, and Luke Kornet filled in big with 7 blocks and near double-double numbers.

Despite being down 3-1 in the series and losing Tatum to a season-ending injury, the Celtics showed their depth, defense, and dominance. Meanwhile, the Knicks missed a golden opportunity to close out the series.

Jalen Brunson fouled out early in the 4th quarter, and New York couldn’t recover. With Game 6 headed back to NYC, is the pressure now on the Knicks? Has Boston gained all the momentum? Can the defending champs make history and come back from 3-1?
