Brunson's Heroics Put Knicks Near Conference Finals

Jalen Brunson has propelled the New York Knicks to a 3-1 series lead over the Boston Celtics, putting them on the verge of their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2000. Brunson's fourth-quarter heroics have made history, as he tallied 102 fourth-quarter points in his first 10 playoff games, surpassing legends like Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry. His clutch performances have drawn comparisons to Knicks greats such as Patrick Ewing and Jerry West, while earning widespread praise from analysts, fans, and his family, including his wife Ali. In Game 4, Brunson scored 39 points and led a comeback after Celtics star Jayson Tatum exited with an injury. The Knicks, long criticized for their postseason struggles, are now considered contenders thanks to Brunson's leadership in critical moments. They will look to clinch the series in Game 6 at Madison Square Garden.
