Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks had a chance to close out their series against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night and advance to take on the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. With Jayson Tatum out due to a torn Achilles, many expected the Knicks to walk into Boston and get the job done.

The Knicks were outscored 32-17 in that third quarter when Brunson picked up the five fouls. Brunson had just two points in the quarter. With the Knicks trailing 91-76, coach Tom Thibodeau put Brunson back in the game to start the fourth quarter. He only made it to the 7:19 mark before committing his sixth foul and fouling out.

Following the New York Knicks 127-102 loss to the Boston Celtics Wednesday night, Brunson referred that the Celtics are a "well-oiled machine" even without star forward Jayson Tatum in the lineup.
