The New York Knicks are one step closer to ending a 25-year conference finals drought after a thrilling 121-113 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 4! 🌟 Jalen Brunson exploded for 39 points and 12 assists, rallying his team from a Game 3 blowout to dominate the second half. 🚀
But the game took a dramatic turn when Celtics star Jayson Tatum collapsed with a right leg injury late in the fourth quarter. 🩹 Despite scoring a playoff-high 42 points, Tatum’s status is uncertain for Game 5, leaving Boston’s title defense in jeopardy. “We have to rally together,” said Celtics veteran Al Horford post-game.
“It was about urgency and seizing this chance,” Brunson told reporters, channeling the team’s underdog energy. 💪
With the Knicks now holding a 3-1 series lead, all eyes turn to Boston for Wednesday’s Game 5. Can the Celtics pull off a historic NBA comeback? Or will New York’s hungry squad close it out and rewrite their legacy? 🏆 Stay tuned!
