Celtics vs. Bucks Game 5: Live score, updates, highlights from second round of 2022 NBA Playoffs


As far as Game 5s go, this is as big as it gets for the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks.

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard the stat that the winner of Game 5 in a best-of-7 series that is tied 2-2 goes on to win the series roughly 82 percent of the time. That is what is at stake for these two teams as we gear up for another physical contest between Eastern Conference powerhouses.

Last game, 35-year-old Al Horford had the game of his career, going off for 30 points on 11-for-14 shooting from the field to carry the Celtics to a come-from-behind victory over the Bucks in the fourth quarter.

With the series shifting back to Boston, the Celtics have regained homecourt advantage in a series that is now best-of-3 to reach the Conference Finals. Will the Celtics get the job done at home? Or will the Bucks bounce back and head back to Milwaukee with a chance to close out the series in Game 6?

The Sporting News has you covered with live updates, highlights and more from all the action.
