In a high-stakes Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on May 14, 2025, the Boston Celtics delivered a commanding performance, defeating the New York Knicks 127–102 at TD Garden. This victory narrowed the series deficit to 3–2, keeping Boston’s playoff hopes alive.
Despite the absence of star forward Jayson Tatum due to an Achilles injury sustained in Game 4, the Celtics showcased remarkable resilience. Jaylen Brown led the charge with 33 points, while Kristaps Porziņģis contributed 28 points and 10 rebounds. The team’s collective effort was evident as they shot 52% from the field and 45% from beyond the arc.
The Knicks, who had previously taken a 3–1 series lead, struggled to contain Boston’s offensive onslaught. Jalen Brunson, despite his recent stellar performances, was limited to 22 points, and the team as a whole shot just 41% from the field. The Celtics’ defense was particularly effective, forcing 15 turnovers and converting them into 20 points.
This decisive win not only extends the series but also shifts momentum back to Boston as they prepare for Game 6 at Madison Square Garden. With renewed confidence and a reinvigorated lineup, the Celtics aim to continue their comeback and push the series to a thrilling Game 7.
