Boston showed their championship mettle in Game 5, led by a surprise offensive outburst from Derrick White, who scored 34 points, including going 7-for-13 from the 3-point line. As a team, the Celtics made 22 3-pointers, shooting 44.9%, with reserve guard Payton Pritchard adding five makes and Jaylen Brown adding three. The second half was especially one-sided, as Boston held the Knicks to just 29.4% from the field, outscoring them 68-43.
While it’s not panic time for the Knicks, it’s unquestionably important for them to close out the series in Game 6 to avoid having to win a Game 7 in Boston. Although Game 5 didn’t go as planned, there were some bright spots, including making 32 free throws and seeing reserve center Mitchell Robinson pull down 13 rebounds (six offensive) in just 23 minutes of action. Josh Hart led all New York scorers with 24 points, making 5-of-9 from the 3-point line.
