NEW YORK — Thousands of people were within earshot of Jalen Brunson, on the heels of perhaps his team’s most important win during his time with the New York Knicks. All were jubilant. Some were shocked. Others unhinged. All wearing blue and orange.

On Wednesday, May 14, the New York Knicks (51-31) and Boston Celtics (61-21) are all set to square off from TD Garden in Boston for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Regional rivalries were cast aside when Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum went down with a late injury against the New York Knicks.

The St. Louis native went down late in the game with a non-contact injury that had him writing on the ground in pain.

Down by 14 points in the third quarter of Game 4, the Knicks came roaring back for another improbable, instant-classic victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson has been lights out in the fourth quarter of the NBA Playoffs, and he's got incredible stats to show how clutch he is.

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.

Tatum suffered what appeared to be a serious lower leg injury late in the fourth quarter. He writhed in pain on the court, had to be carried off by Celtics staffers and was seen on ESPN’s broadcast riding in a wheelchair after exiting down the tunnel.
