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.

During Monday’s Game 4, the Knicks bounced back from a disastrous Game 3 loss with another big second-half comeback. They held the Celtics to a series-low seven offensive rebounds and turned 13 offensive rebounds into 15 second-chance points. The Knicks are now favored to reach the NBA Finals following the Game 4 win.
