US EditionKnicks come up huge at home to take 3-1 lead over Celtics as Boston loses star to apparent leg injury
- On Monday night at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks secured a 121-113 win over the Boston Celtics, taking a 3-1 advantage in their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
- The Knicks overcame a double-digit Celtics lead and a 14-point third-quarter deficit, while Celtics star Jayson Tatum suffered an apparent non-contact right leg injury late in the game.
- Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 39 points and 12 assists, supported by 23 points each from Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns and 20 points from OG Anunoby, who recovered from earlier poor performances.
- Tatum scored a playoff-high 42 points on 16-of-28 shooting with additional rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks before his injury forced him off the court with less than three minutes remaining as he could not bear weight on his leg.
- The Celtics are now on the verge of elimination and face the daunting challenge of overcoming a 3-1 series deficit—a feat that has only been accomplished 13 times before in NBA history—while awaiting Tuesday’s MRI results that will determine if their leading scorer, Jayson Tatum, can participate in Game 5 in Boston.
