The Boston Celtics are still alive against the New York Knicks. The Celtics pulled away to win Game 5, 127-102, on Wednesday night without star forward Jayson Tatum. The Knicks still lead the series, 3-2, and will have another chance to move to the Eastern Conference finals in Friday's Game 6.

The Boston Celtics should have folded like a wet cardboard box. But they did not, and instead put together one of their best games in recent memory.

Leading 3-1 in the series, the New York Knicks visit the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Wednesday at TD Garden.
