Jalen Brunson had his second-lowest point outcome of the series with 22 points on 7-of-17 from the field (41.2%), while Josh Hart added a playoff-high 24 points. Karl-Anthony Towns had his lowest output (19 points) since Game 1 but also dealt with foul trouble as he’s had four or more fouls in all five games.

The Celtics' 127-102 win was a masterclass in teamwork and resilience from a team that was written off in the past 48 hours. And it should have New York a little scared.
