BOSTON — P.J. Tucker has not played a single minute for the Knicks this postseason. Since signing with the Knicks in March, he entered Wednesday’s Game 5 clash against the Celtics at TD Garden with 25 DNP’s, appearing in just three regular-season games.
The New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics with Jalen Brunson leading the offense. He delivered an outstanding performance and drove the team forward. As a result, Brunson broke a playoff record previously held by Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
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 of their NBA second-round series.
It could be 2000, which was the last time the Knicks reached the third round of the playoffs, the last time a title-starved town got to revel in the streets.
