The New York Knicks pumped up the court in a thrilling Game 4, clinching a 121-113 victory over the Boston Celtics and taking a commanding 3-1 series lead! 🔥
Jalen Brunson lit up the game with 39 points and 12 assists, igniting a powerful comeback after a rough Game 3. "I think it was a sense of urgency, desperation, just knowing that we have a great opportunity," Brunson said.
Drama unfolded as Celtics star Jayson Tatum scored a playoff-high 42 points before suffering a potentially severe right leg injury in the final minutes. With Tatum carried off the court with 2:58 left, the Celtics now face a monumental challenge.
With a chance to reach the conference finals for the first time in 25 years, the Knicks are riding high on this momentum. In contrast, the Celtics might have to pull off the NBA's 14th comeback from a 3-1 deficit—a tall order, especially without their key playmaker.
The game also saw standout performances from Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, each adding 23 points, while OG Anunoby bounced back with 20 points. As Celtics veteran Al Horford noted, "We have to turn that page quickly and do our first job, which is win on Wednesday. That's the mindset."
As the series heats up, fans are in for an epic showdown. Can the Knicks secure the series on their home court, or will the Celtics defy the odds with an historic comeback? Stay tuned as the drama continues on the hardwood! 🙌🏀
