The Celtics showed the heart of a champion in Game 5 without an injured Jayson Tatum, fending off elimination by defeating the Knicks 127-102. Jaylen Brown and Derrick White led the way while Luke Kornet provided a massive boost off the bench. Now onto Madison Square Garden to try and force a do-or-die Game 7. Chud and Doug break it all down, give out their Chuddy Chains, and check in on the rest of the NBA playoff action.
