The Boston Celtics are officially on the ropes.
Despite leading by as many as 14 points, and maintaining a lead for almost all of the first three quarters, the C's are in a 3-1 series hole after falling to the New York Knicks in Monday's Game 4, 121-113. Knicks star Jalen Brunson once again stepped up in crunch time, propelling his team to victory with 39 points (18 in third quarter).
It was a duel between Brunson and Jayson Tatum until Tatum went down with an apparent right leg injury in the fourth quarter. The C's star did not put any weight on his right leg as he was helped off the court.
The series will shift back to Boston for a do-or-die Game 5 on Wednesday night.
