Bbref has this awesome page which breaks out all results of 7 game playoff series since 1984 based on the scenario (IE, home team is up 2-0, down 2-0, etc. [URL="https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/7-game-playoff-series-outcomes-22111.html"]7-Game Playoff Series Outcomes (Since 1984); 2-2-1-1-1 Format | Basketball-Reference.com[/URL])

All time (fine, since 1984), the team thats down 2-3 is 34-191, about 15%.  If you look at teams down 2-3 with home court, its 19-60, which gets you to about 24%.   If you look at scenarios like this series, where the home team was tied 2-2 and lost game 5, you get up to 13-26, about 33%.  So definitely a decent chance for Boston.  Also, if I am doing my math correctly, assuming the road team wins game 6 to even up the series, they are 11-5 in game 7 back at home.

To bring it back to the Knicks, when the team with home court is down 3-2 and they have won game 5, they win the series just 6 times out of 40.
