The Boston Celtics live to play at least one more game in their second-round playoff series versus the New York Knicks, winning 127-102 on their home court. Boston cut its series deficit to 3-2 with Game 6 to be played on Friday night in New York.
Whether the Celtics could win on Tuesday was in considerable doubt after leading scorer Jayson Tatum was lost for the remainder of the postseason (and likely all of next season) with a torn right Achilles tendon suffered during Monday's 121-113 defeat in Game 4.
