Knicks fans, as loud and proud as ever, were easy to spot in their blue and orange jerseys in front of TD Garden ahead of Game 5.

The New York Knicks enter the Game 5 matchup of the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 3-1 lead over the Boston Celtics.

The Knicks have already won twice in Boston in the series, erasing 20-point deficits in Games 1 and 2. The Celtics picked up a road win in Game 3 and Game 4 was close late, but Tatum went down with three minutes remaining and Boston couldn't pull out the win.

Leading 3-1 in the series, the New York Knicks visit the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Wednesday at TD Garden.

In a shock turn of events, the Boston Celtics are one game away from elimination in their second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks. Joe Mazzulla's team has let double-digit leads slip away in each of their three losses, making their current situation even harder to stomach.

The Boston Celtics and New York Knicks will meet for a Game 4 Eastern Conference semifinals matchup tonight in New York City.

The Boston Celtics are still alive against the New York Knicks. The Celtics pulled away to win Game 5, 127-102, on Wednesday night without star forward Jayson Tatum. The Knicks still lead the series, 3-2, and will have another chance to move to the Eastern Conference finals in Friday's Game 6.

Knicks in five, Knicks in five,” scores of orange-and-blue clad diehards chanted outside TD Garden in Beantown.
