Yardbarker on MSNCeltics run away from Knicks in Game 5 to stave off eliminationIn their first game since star Jayson Tatum ruptured his right Achilles tendon in Game 4, the Boston Celtics orchestrated a huge second-half performance to stave off elimination against the New York Knicks.
There is not word as of yet exactly what the injury is, but based on the fact that it was non-contact, and Tatum was wheeled to the locker room holding the back of his ankle, there is a belief that it is something to do with his Achilles tendon.
