Celtics vs. Knicks Score: game 5 live updates as Jalen Brunson, New York try to eliminate reigning champions

The New York Knicks have the chance to switch off the reigning Champion Boston Celtics in game 5 of their NBA playoff matchup on Wednesday evening. The Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson and, thanks to a trio of double-digit comebacks in the series, enter the series with a 3-1 series. The Celtics need a victory to keep their season alive, and they have to do it without Jayson.

Tatum tore his Achilles in game 4 on Monday in Madison Square Garden. Boston's star was operated on on Tuesday and will miss everything that is left of this playoff run, and possibly the entire next season.

The Knicks are trying to advance their first final of the Eastern Conference since 2000. Meanwhile, the Celtics could become the sixth reigning champion in a row, which was switched off in the second round or earlier in the NBA playoffs. No defending champion has made it beyond the second round since the Warriors in 2019.
