New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics: TV channel, time, how to watch Game 5

The Indiana Pacers have clinched their spot in the Eastern Conference finals. Are the New York Knicks next?

New York is one game away from its first conference final appearance since 2000 as they head into Game 5 of its second round matchup with the Boston Celtics with a 3-1 series lead. After a big loss in Game 4, the Knicks defended Madison Square Garden in Game 5 with a 121-113 win to put the defending champions on the brink of elimination. Not only is Boston playing to keep the season alive, but it will have to do it without star Jayson Tatum, who suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon in Monday’s matchup.

Here’s how to watch the pivotal Game 6 between the Knicks and the Celtics.
