As the Knicks enter the postseason with renewed vigor, their recent performance has showcased the brilliance of Jaylen Brunson. Leading the playoffs with 53 fourth-quarter points, Brunson's clutch performances have turned the tide in crucial games. His ability to deliver under pressure has not only revived the Knicks' playoff hopes but has also reshaped perceptions around his playmaking and scoring capabilities. After a shaky game two, Brunson’s return in the fourth quarter of game three proved vital as he led the Knicks to their first consecutive road wins since 1999.

Contributing significantly to this resurgence is Karl-Anthony Towns, whose shooting touch has been key in opening up the Knicks' offense. His newfound aggression in game four, particularly his ability to draw fouls on Tobias Harris, has allowed for a more versatile Knicks attack. Coupled with the defensive prowess of Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby, the Knicks are poised to capitalize on matchups against Boston in the next series. The synergy between Brunson's scoring and Towns' floor spacing appears to be a formula that could challenge stronger teams like the Celtics.
