Bryant twice scored 100 fourth-quarter points in his first 10 playoff games, back in 2001 and 2003, and then added a 99-point run to open the 2008 playoffs. Stephen Curry likewise scored 99 in the first 10 games of the 2023 playoffs, but Brunson's fourth-quarter scoring pace has moved him past those two legends.

Tensions escalated as Al Horford and Jalen Brunson exchanged heated words after the whistle in Game 3 of conference semifinals.

Jalen Brunson’s 18-point third quarter had just turned what was once a 14-point deficit into a three-point Knicks lead going into the fourth quarter of Game 4, but the Celtics had another punch in them.

The New York Knicks are favored to make it to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. Oklahoma City remains the overall favorite.
