Can the return of the Hospital Celtics extend the series beyond Game 5 with the TD Garden crowd at their backs?

The New York Knicks are back home at Madison Square Garden today for a Game 3 matchup with the Boston Celtics.

New York was 5 for 25 behind the arc and shot 68.6% on free throws — though that was mostly because Mitchell Robinson went 4 for 12 as the Celtics fouled the poor free throw shooter intentionally.

How does this impact Boston's postseason hopes? More importantly, what does it do to the team's contention window in the short and medium term?

Anunoby effectively contained Tatum, while Bridges' defensive skills were on full display in the game's final moments. Bridges made a game-sealing defensive play by stealing the ball from Tatum in the closing seconds, marking the second consecutive game where he secured the victory with a last-second defensive stop.
