The Boston Celtics are set to begin their Eastern Conference Semifinals on Monday, May 5, at TD Garden, facing either the New York Knicks or the Detroit Pistons. The Knicks currently lead their series 3-2, but the Pistons have pushed it to a Game 6, ensuring that Boston's next opponent will have less rest heading into the second round.

Jayson Tatum once again led the way for the Celtics, putting up 35 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. It marks Tatum's third 30-plus game in a row after he dropped 36 in Game 3 and 37 in Game 4 after missing Game 2 with a bone bruise. Jaylen Brown added 23 points in the win.
