US EditionKnicks try to secure series win over the Celtics
- The New York Knicks hold a 3-2 lead over the Boston Celtics in their second-round playoff series on Friday at Madison Square Garden.
- In Game 4, the Celtics lost their six-time All-Star Jayson Tatum to a severe Achilles injury, leading Boston to modify their approach without their star player.
- Despite Tatum's absence, Derrick White and Jaylen Brown led Boston to a 127-102 Game 5 win, extending the series and showing resilience.
- Knicks forward Josh Hart scored 24 points and Jalen Brunson added 22, but ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins stated losing this series would be a major NBA disappointment.
- A victory for the Knicks in Game 6 would earn them a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals, marking their first appearance there in over two decades, and set them on a potential path to the NBA Finals.
