Knicks try to secure series win over the Celtics

  • The New York Knicks lead the Boston Celtics 3-2 in their Eastern Conference second-round playoff series, aiming to clinch the win at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
  • The series follows a historic rivalry with the Celtics winning all four regular-season games and Boston losing star Jayson Tatum to an Achilles injury sustained in Game 4.
  • Boston rebounded in Game 5 with a 127-102 victory fueled by Derrick White’s 34 points and Jaylen Brown’s 26-point double-double despite Tatum's absence.
  • The Knicks are favored by 2.5 points heading into Game 6, with analysts highlighting New York's strong advantage. Kendrick Perkins emphasized that failing to close out the series at this stage would be an enormous letdown.
  • The Knicks' potential series win implies a first Conference Finals appearance since 2000 and threatens the Celtics' title defense amid significant adjustments without Tatum.
