The Boston Celtics walked into Game 5 facing elimination and answered with the type of grit that defines playoff basketball. With the New York Knicks holding a commanding 3-1 lead

The Boston Celtics and New York Knicks will play Game 5 of their series on Wednesday. Here is a free live stream, how to watch, what channel, what time.

Lots of teams have rallied in the first game after a devastating injury. The Celtics' challenge will be summoning the same emotion in Game 6.

Towns and the Knicks will now head back to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday night as they look to close out the series against the Celtics, who will likely be without their star forward Jayson Tatum after he suffered a non-contact injury late in the fourth quarter of Game 4.

The New York Knicks enter the Game 5 matchup of the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 3-1 lead over the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics' 127-102 win was a masterclass in teamwork and resilience from a team that was written off in the past 48 hours. And it should have New York a little scared.

Monday night, the Knicks will have to be considerably better — better defending the 3-point shot, better on the glass, better on the offensive end.
