Heroes, zeros and more in the Knicks’ 121-113 Game 4 win over the Celtics at Madison Square Garden on Monday night:

Hero

Who else? This was the vintage Jalen Brunson game that had been missing this series. He poured in 39 points on 14-for-25 shooting from the field.

Zero

Jrue Holiday was nearly invisible, finishing with just four points on 2-for-5 shooting from the field. He also struggled on the defensive end against Brunson.

Unsung Hero

Mikal Bridges has become the Knicks’ Mr. Fourth Quarter. He recorded 10 points in Monday’s fourth quarter and finished with 23.
