THE NEW YORK KNICKS AND THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES ... The Knicks haven't been to the conference finals since 2000. They're 48 minutes away from changing that after their third stirring comeback in four games.

Tatum suffered an apparent leg injury late in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and he is set for further evaluation Tuesday with Boston one loss from elimination.

The Boston Celtics championship defense is still alive. In the team's first game since losing star forward Jayson Tatum, big nights from Jaylen Brown and Derrick White helped steer the team to a 127-102 victory over the New York Knicks and cut the series deficit to 3-2.
