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.

It was a Garden party outside the World’s Most Famous Arena as the Knicks took a 3-1 series lead over the Celtics with their 121-113 win in Game 4 on Monday night.

The Pacers won Games 1, 2 and 5 at Rocket Mortgage Arena to help secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. Indiana needed to battle back from a 12-point first-quarter deficit. Tyrese Haliburton's three-point shooting played a huge role in clawing back into the game.

Heading into Game 4, the New York Knicks likely hoped to see more production from their supporting cast — especially from players not named Jalen Brunson. The growing narrative that the Knicks had become overly reliant on their captain to generate offense was becoming a cause for concern.

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.
