Knicks Look to Close Out Celtics in Game 5 | Brunson’s Brilliance, Tatum Injury, and NY’s Path to the ECF

The Knicks are just one win away from shocking the basketball world and knocking out the defending champion Boston Celtics. In this episode of Locked Up Sports, we preview a pivotal Game 5 matchup in Boston. Jalen Brunson has been unstoppable, leading the Knicks to a 3-1 series lead with MVP-caliber performances. But all eyes are on the Celtics — especially Jayson Tatum, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Game 4. Can the shorthanded Celtics rally at home? Or will the Knicks punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000?
We break down the adjustments, the pressure, and the path forward — win or lose. Plus, we look at what a Game 5 win would mean for New York basketball, Tom Thibodeau's legacy, and this improbable playoff run.
