BOSTON — The Knicks entered the postseason with a game plan that only a few would admit to, but some in the locker room later acknowledged — hang close until the final minutes and then watch as the magic begins. The magic? Jalen Brunson showing time and time again why he is referred to as "Captain Clutch" just as much as he is his given name.

Mazzulla, Brown and Horford all said that Boston didn't play up to its standard defensively. This is true, particularly in the second half. But both sides of the floor are connected, and Mazzulla pointed out that the Knicks were able to play with pace in part because of the Celtics' poor offensive execution.

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson was happy after his team pulled off a big Game 4 win against the Boston Celtics.
