#Knicks can't let up, up 9 and with Tatum out of the game.

94-92 #Knicks, 8:53 left, Jalen Brunson checks back into the game.

Scott Foster was not about to let his own call get overturned.

Robinson and McBride in for Anunoby and Brunson to begin the 4th for the #Knicks.

The #Knicks Starting 5 played the entire 3rd quarter... They shot 65%, Brunson scored 18 points, Towns had 9 and the Knicks outscored the #Celtics 37-23.

#Knicks close the 3rd quarter on a 12-2 run, and for the first time in this series they take a lead into the 4th quarter... 88-85.

Jalen Brunson has that look tonight... 16 Points in the 3rd quarter, 29 in the game. #Knicks down 83-81... closest they've been since 30-28.

#Knicks have made 8 of their first 10 shots in the 3rd quarter and are outscoring the #Celtics 20-15 so far.

After falling behind by a game-high 14, Jalen Brunson comes out of the timeout on a personal 5-0 run, with three free throws coming up and possibly a flagrant foul as well.

The #Celtics hit one fewer 3 in the first quarter than they did in all of Game 2.

Brunson/Bridges/Anunoby are shooting 5 for 25 in Game 2. Bridges has missed 18 of his 21 shot attempts in this series. He is shooting 14.2%.

It's a 9-2 run for the #Celtics since Derrick White took the charge on the OG Anunoby dunk.

Brunson/Bridges/Anunoby shot 1 for 13 and committed 2 turnovers in that first quarter for the #Knicks.

Bridges was great down the stretch of Game 1, especially on D, but he has made 3 of his 17 shot attempts so far in this series… a lot of them have been good, midrange looks that he usually knocks down.

Outside of Towns, the #Knicks have shot 0 for 7 to begin this Game 2.
