After the Knicks took a 3-1 series lead, New York has a golden opportunity to close the series out in Boston. Here's how they can do it.

Jalen Brunson had 39 points and 12 assists, and the New York Knicks moved a win away from their first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years and pushed the defending champion Boston Celtics to the brink of elimination with a 121-113 victory Monday night in Game 4.

The Knicks are one win away from a trip to the Eastern Conference finals leading the Celtics 3-1 in the conference semis, which now shifts back to Boston for a pivotal game 5. The Celtics will try to keep their hopes for a repeat championship alive after losing Jayson Tatum to a ruptured Achilles.

The Knicks pushed the Celtics to the brink of elimination on Monday, but much of the conversation after Game 4 of the Eastern semifinals centered around Jayson Tatum's injury.

The Celtics’ offense is at its best when all five players are aggressively attacking the rim, spraying the ball out to open shooters and scrambling opposing defenses. It’s hard to do that when one player—Holiday in this case—removes himself from the action.

On Wednesday, May 14, the New York Knicks (51-31) and Boston Celtics (61-21) are all set to square off from TD Garden in Boston for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

ESPN made a major announcement on Tuesday after Monday's Game 4 matchup between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.

It's official, Jayson Tatum has suffered a torn right Achilles Tendon. The Boston Celtics confirmed the injury via a press release on Tuesday, May 13. Boston also confirmed Tatum had undergone successful surgery to repair the tear but stopped short of providing a timeline for his recovery and potential return to the rotation.

Down by 14 points in the third quarter of Game 4, the Knicks came roaring back for another improbable, instant-classic victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics.
