Boston Celtics draw on pride to stay alive against the Knicks

The heart of a champion team should never be underestimated. Boston Celtics wanted to pay tribute to Jayson Tatum with a memorable game at the Garden, dedicated to their players in their effort to keep alive the flame of a heroic comeback against New York Knicks. The final result was 127-102 and the series heads to the Big Apple.

If anyone thought that Boston Celtics would surrender after being 3-1 down against New York Knicks and following a serious injury to their star, Jayson Tatum, then they do not understand the foundational principles and values upon which this franchise is built. Drawing on competitive spirit and pride, the team from Massachusetts put on a superb performance, especially highlighted by a third quarter where the defense was spectacular.

- A 32-17 run in the third quarter, supported by the defense, proved crucial

Both Derrick White (34 points) and Jaylen Brown (26/8/12) showcased their best selves, emerging as leaders of a team where Kornet provided more effective support than usual to Porzingis, while Jrue Holiday frustrated Brunson who ended up fouled out. The series now enters a decisive moment where New York Knicks must prove they deserve a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals, needing to close out the series at home, with a Madison Square Garden that will fully support their team. There is no room for errors as playing a seventh game with Boston Celtics as the host could significantly pave the way for an epic achievement.
