The New York Knicks will be facing off against a raging Boston Celtics on May 16, 2025. With the conference semifinals underway, the series has been quite a rollercoaster ride for the fans. With the Knicks starting off strong in the initial couple of games, it looked like the Celtics were a gone deal.

However, a swift recovery was made to restore a 2-1 parity after Game 3. But once again, the Knicks extended their lead 3-1 with a victory in Game 4. Coming into the all important Game 5, the Celtics desperately needed a victory. And they did it in style. Now, as the game hangs in balance, the Game 6 will be the decider.

The Boston Celtics got the better of the Knicks with a score of 127-102. With Jayson Tatum missing due to an ACL injury, the Celtics got their face saved by Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. White was the star of the night, dropping 34 points with 2 assists and 3 rebounds. Next up, it was Brown who chipped in with 26 important points along with 12 assists and 8 rebounds. Going forward, the Celtics will surely want these two to continue their merry run along with the others.

Meanwhile, despite the Knicks’ outfit not clicking in Game 5, they have been phenomenal all through the season. With the likes of Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Karl Anthony-Towns in their ranks, Game 6 will surely be a banger.
