Luke Kornet (seven) and Derrick White (three) combined to block 10 shots tonight. The New York Knicks combined to block four as an entire team.

Joe Mazzulla on Kristaps Porzingis not playing during the second half: “He couldn’t breathe. He was available if absolutely necessary.”

“Everyone in that locker room has another level that they need to get to,” says Joe Mazzulla.

Joe Mazzulla, after Jaylen Brown tallies 26 points and 12 assists, says that Brown showcased his leadership at the DEFENSIVE end of the floor.

An UNBELIEVABLE night at TD Garden! The Celtics rise up -- together -- to force Game 6 in emphatic fashion without Tatum. Brown, White and Kornet were incredible. Tell me what you're thinking after this dub! https://t.co/kb7SJbq8TN
