The Eastern Conference semi-finals continued, and the Celtics challenged the Knicks away. In the final quarter of the G4 game, Tatum suffered an injury in an offense and the Achilles tendon ruptured season. In the G5 game, the Celtics fought hard and saved the life and death game 127-102.

This game is still a life-and-death game for the Celtics, but the Celtics felt very poor in the first half, including White, Holiday and Porzingis, who made a total of 3 of 18 shots and 1 of 7 three-pointers. The hit rate in the first quarter still reached 30%, and the second quarter directly dropped to 10%. Even so, the Celtics are still keen on outside projection.

The Celtics made a total of 40 three-pointers, hitting only 12, including three in the first quarter and only one in the second quarter. In the third quarter of the game, Anunobi's three-pointer scored a score difference of 41 points, which instantly caused the Knicks fans to be excited. Not only that, when the camera gives the picture outside the Knicks Arena, it can be seen that there are also many fans outside the Arena.

Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. The last trip to the Eastern Conference Finals was in 2000. The Knicks Pacers had a deep connection, and the last three Eastern Conference Finals between the two sides ended with the Knicks losing.

It is worth mentioning that according to US media Legion Hoops, the cheapest ticket price for the Knicks home G6 is currently US$855 (about RMB 6,200).
