By now, just about every Boston Celtics fan with access to the internet knows the statistic regarding the winners of Game 5 in an NBA postseason series, but this Game 5 in the team's 2022 NBA Finals series against the Golden State Warriors feels especially important. Just how critical is it for the Celtics to steal another game on the road in their quest to hang an NBA-record 18th banner in the rafters of TD Garden?

Perhaps even more importantly, what did Game 4's loss teach us about what might be coming down the pike in the two team's next contest, and what could Boston do to counter what they have seen from Golden State so far.

In this episode of the CLNS Media podcast, we do our best to divine how the first of the three potentially remaining games of the 2021-22 NBA season might go -- and what the Celtics ought to do to maximize their chances at winning it all.

Join your usual hosts Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn as we gear up for an absolutely massive Monday evening showdown.
