And after the two teams launched several shots throughout the fourth, the Knicks finally withdrew to a 121-113 victory.
The Celtics took an advance of 99-98 with a little more than seven minutes after Jayson Tatum pierced his seventh three points of the night to give him 42 points in the evening. But the Knicks were imperturbable.
New York then carried out another huge race, outclassing Boston 18-5 over the next five minutes.
During the period, however, Tatum seemed to be undergoing a serious injury to the lower contactless leg while going for a loose bullet. Tatum immediately called the dead time itself and was swept away on the ground. The cameras showed him in the locker room with a towel covering his face.

The Celtics are already shocking 3-1 in the series, and the chances go even more in favor of the Knicks if the injury of Tatum is what it feared to be.
Four of the five of the Knicks finished with at least 20 points, Jalen Brunson paving the way with 39.
Match 5 is back in Boston, where the Knicks won the first two games in the series. With a victory, the Knicks will be back in the final of the Eastern Conference for the first time since 2000.

The Celtics will have to make the 14th return of the NBA of a 3-1 deficit to extend their title reign.
No one came from 3-1 since Denver did it twice in 2020 at the Walt Disney World Resort. This did not happen when a team had to win a real road match since Cleveland joined Golden State in the 2016 NBA final.
