The Knicks are headed back to New York — and the Celtics are coming with them. The Knicks blew their first chance to close out the defending champions, with Boston dominating the second half in a 127-102 win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

He scored 29 points on 13-of-18 shooting in Minnesota's series-clinching 121-110 win against the Golden State Warriors and outscored his teammate Anthony Edwards for the second consecutive game.

To be precise, from "The Hibachi's" point of view, while the 6'4" guard gets his due credit when the team does well, his subpar showing from playing constant free-flow basketball often goes unnoticed whenever the team falls under pressure.

Heroes, zeros and more from the Knicks’ 127-102 Game 5 loss to the Celtics at TD Garden in Boston on Wednesday night: The Knicks lost Derrick White on countless possessions, and he erupted for 34 points. He went 7-for-13 from 3-point range — and only took two non 3-pointers.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White has been excellent since they picked him up from the San Antonio Spurs in February of 2022. He has progressed every year on the team, which is a testament to his work ethic and ability to be a good teammate.
