The New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics 121-113 on Monday at Madison Square Garden to take a 3-1 series lead. Down by as many as 14 points in the third quarter, New York ended the period on a 12-2 run to take an 88-85 lead into the fourth. With less than six minutes remaining in regulation of a tied 102-102 game, Knicks forward OG Anunoby drained a three-pointer to give the Knicks a 105-102 lead, which New York would not relinquish. Four Knicks players scored at least 20 points. Jalen Brunson finished with 39 points, 12 assists and five rebounds. Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns each had 23 points and Anunoby added 20. After the victory, Brunson discussed the comeback, the win and extending the series lead. “It means a lot. It’s a big game for us, just the way we responded, is what I’m most proud of, sticking together and making sure we are not quitting,” Brunson said at the postgame news conference.
