The Boston Celtics won Game 5 without injured star Jayson Tatum, and Udonis Haslem thinks they found a recipe to turn this series around.
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum tore his right Achilles tendon in the fourth quarter of Monday's Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks, and had surgery on Tuesday in New York City to repair the injury.
Jalen Brunson has been excellent for the New York Knicks and helped them to a 3-2 series lead over the Boston Celtics. After they lost in Game 5 though, Jaylen Brown took a shot at him.

Against the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks have relied on Jalen Brunson to much success. He is averaging a stellar 28 points and 7.8 assists on 41.2 percent shooting from the floor, and has easily been the best player in the series, including Jayson Tatum before he went down with injury.
