The Celtics fell to the Knicks in the second round, which is interestingly the same round that many reigning champions have had trouble with in recent years.

The Knicks enter the Game 6 matchup of the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 3-2 series lead over the Celtics.

The New York Knicks and Boston Celtics return to Madison Square Garden with the Knicks looking at their second chance to close out the series. In Game 5, with the Knicks holding a 3-1 series lead, the Celtics won by 25 points despite missing Jayson Tatum, who recently had surgery on his right Achilles tendon.
