NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson earned his Clutch Player of the Year award, scoring 23 of his 39 points in the second half, and the New York Knicks again came back from a double-digit deficit to beat the Boston Celtics, 121-113, on May 12, putting the defending champions one game away from a stunning elimination.
Game 5 is Wednesday night at TD Garden in Boston in the best-of-seven series.
Mikal Bridges scored 12 points in the fourth quarter as part of a 23-point effort for New York, which finally got its offense rolling after a stagnant Game 3 performance on both ends of the floor.
