The Boston Celtics lost Game 4 and saw Jayson Tatum suffer a potentially serious injury on Monday night against the New York Knicks. The Knicks won 121-113 thanks to a strong second half and erased another large deficit,

This is exactly why the team was playing with a noticeable sense of urgency as they fought to keep their season alive. So much so that Celtics star Jaylen Brown got into a heated altercation with Josh Hart early in the second half.

Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns each added 23 points, and OG Anunoby bounced back from two poor performances by scoring 20 for the Knicks, which can win the series Wednesday night in Boston. If not, they will come back to Madison Square Garden to try to do it Friday night.

The second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs is in full swing and three teams have 3-1 series leads after Monday's action. The Knicks and Timberwolves joined the Pacers as the teams one win away from the conference finals.

Actor Timothée Chalamet stole the spotlight Monday night during Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics. Sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden with girlfriend Kylie Jenner, the 29-year-old actor didn’t just watch the game — he lived every second of it.

Over the first two games of the second-round series between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, there were major concerns regarding the defending champions.
