BOSTON — The Knicks entered the postseason with a game plan that only a few would admit to, but some in the locker room later acknowledged — hang close until the final minutes and then watch as the magic begins. The magic? Jalen Brunson showing time and time again why he is referred to as "Captain Clutch" just as much as he is his given name.

Jalen Brunson led the way for the Knicks once again, ending with 39 points, 12 assists and five rebounds while shooting 14-for-25 from the field. Knicks forward Mikal Bridges also had a great game, finishing with 23 points, seven rebounds, three assists and four steals in the win.

On the strength of a 39-point performance by Jalen Brunson, another fantastic fourth quarter from Mikal Bridges and by far their best offensive showing of the series, the New York Knicks took a 3-1 series lead against the Boston Celtics with a 121-113 win in Game 4 on Monday at Madison Square Garden.
