Boston Celtics set to face New York Knicks in East Semis - what can we expect?

The Boston Celtics will face the New York Knicks in the NBA's 2025 Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series set to kick off on Monday, May 5 at TD Garden after the Knicks beat the Detroit Pistons in six games in the first round.
