Jalen Brunson and the Knicks are starting to become synonymous with clutch. Brunson helped orchestrate a 20-point comeback to defeat the defending champion Boston Celtics in overtime on their home floor on Monday night, giving New York their fourth clutch win of the Playoffs – the most in the NBA.

With Brunson’s dominant fourth quarter in Game 1, he made NBA playoff history as he became just the third player since 1997-98 to score 75 or more points in the fourth quarter through their first seven games of a postseason run. Brunson joins Stephen Curry, who did so in 2023, and Kobe Bryant, who accomplished it in 2008.

The Boston Celtics blew a 20-point lead and lost Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to Jalen Brunson and the Knicks.
