In a must win Game 4 on the road, the Celtics needed to rise to the challenge. They were not able to as they lost to the Knicks 121-113, giving New York a 3-1 series lead.
Jayson Tatum did everything he could for Boston as he led the way for the Celtics with 42 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists on 16-28 shooting from the field and 7-16 shooting from three but it wasn’t enough as he went down with a severe injury at the end of the fourth quarter.
Jalen Brunson led the way for the Knicks with 39 points, 12 assists, and 5 rebounds on 14-25 shooting and 4-8 from three while Mikal Bridges, Karl-Anthony Towns, and OG Anunoby all scored 20+ points as well.
