What channel is Celtics vs. Heat on tonight? TV schedule, live stream for Game 5 of 2023 NBA Playoffs series

The Celtics looked like a 57-win team in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, capturing a 116-99 victory over the Heat to extend their season. But Miami doesn't sound too concerned about the energy of the series shifting in Boston's direction.

During his postgame media availability, Jimmy Butler, who had 29 points, nine rebounds and five assists in Game 4, told reporters that the loss will actually help the Heat build momentum moving forward.

"We've gotta play like our backs are against the wall," Butler said. "I think, all year long, we've been better whenever we've had to do things the hard way."

Can Miami close out the series with a road win? Or will Boston be able to keep its championship hopes alive for at least one more game?
