Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks Full Highlights 3rd Qtr | May 12 | 2025 NBA Highlights

to keep game pressure on. You want to be going into the fourth within 10. Make the Celtics prove they can beat you in a possession ball game. Of course, that was the case in games one and two. Coming back from 20 down, White misses. Holiday offensive board. Brown. Oh, beautiful move inside and an easy layup for Jaylen Brown. So, back to 13 equaling the largest lead. Mike, one of the things coming out of halftime, if we were down 10, 12 points, the goal was to make the other team call the first time out. Make Boston call the first time out if you’re the Knicks. Towns kicks it out to Hart. Shot clock at four. Bridges off the bounce, gets to the baseline, leans in. Lamp is good. Pretty move and adjustment for Male Bridges. He’s got 11 points. [Applause] Brown with 14 so far tonight. [Applause] [Music] Drives again. Gets inside. Shot blocked by Bridges. Excellent defensive play. Brunson in the front court. Keeps that dribble alive. Towns wants it down low. He’s got White on him and Holiday lurking. Shot is good and a foul. At the end of the second quarter, you could see the ankle roll as it kind of hit Al Horford’s leg and Brunson went to the floor grimacing. Horford was called for a foul. Brunson shot two free throws. He limped to the line both attempts, then limp back to the locker room at halftime. I’ve been told he didn’t get any treatment at the half. He came out of the locker room, put some shots up like usual, but something Mike uh to keep an eye on the rest of the way. Well, he’s been had a bunch of games taken out during the Piston series, but always returned. By the way, that was some pass from Tatum on that last play. Anobi on the drive. Ali of Towns. Nice back door play and Towns able to get the bucket. He’s the Knicks leading scoreer with 15. Much more aggressive in attacking tonight. Yeah, he is. He’s come out. Even OG has come out before the hamstring. They’re about two or three possessions away from what we talked about and making the Celtics have to react with some sort of timeout. Tatum finds some space, gets an opening, and hits another three. His fifth three-pointer. He’s got 23. They’re just relentlessly attacking Carl Anthony Towns. They’re putting him into every action and just saying, “Guard, guard all over the floor.” Brunson can’t get it. Horford gets the rebound. White stripped by Josh Hart. Hart falls down. Nick’s upset, but there should have been a foul call. Tatum comes out with a steal. Tatum kicks it back out. White plenty of time. Sets, fires, and rattles in another three for sure. Eight on the 24. They lead. Brunson lines it up and knocks down a three. Brunson has not had many clean looks like that throughout these [Applause] playoffs. 16 points for Brunson. Celtics shooting 56% from the field and 52 from three-point range. Brunson trying to help now on Tatum. Calling for White to come over to help. Throws it back to White. Shot clock at four. White off the bounce. His first two-point shot of the night. That won’t go. And Towns the rebound. Brunson drives past Horford, gets inside, leans in, bangs it in. Backto back buckets for Brunson. The Suffach lead cut to nine. [Applause] Tatum again with Towns on him looking to back up. Shot clock at seven. Long three-pointer won’t go. Hart comes flying in for the rebound. Boy, boxes and elbows. Everybody in the gaps. Hart to Brunson. Brunson is against White. Tough shot. Gets it a go. Nine straight points by the Knicks in the lead. Cut to five. That is Muel Bridg’s sweet spot. That little fade is his go-to. Brown back into it. They were completely taken out of the game the other afternoon. White hesitated on the three and then nails it. Six of eight from three-point range. Incredible long distance shooting from Derek White. Just over five minutes gone by in this third period. Brunson against Horford. Drives, pulls back, looking, finds Hart. Hart not expecting it. Now Bridges his corner three in and out. Hart offensive rebound back out. Stolen by Tatum. Tatum ahead of the pack. Goes in and throws it down. Great anticipation for Tatum. That’s his third steel. And a costly turnover for the Knicks. Brunson gets past Horford, goes inside. Layup is good. Another slick move from Jaylen Brunson. His ability to use his body to keep the I mean, how many inches is he giving up and the [Applause] finish falls down, gets back up. Holiday looking to post him up. Shot clock winding down. Throws up the shot. No good. Towns the two-handed rebound. Hart wants to push, but the Celtics back defensively. Towns off the bounce, goes to the rim. Layup, bangs it in. Timeout, Joe. Mike, he’s dominating in the paint either off drives or post ups. White to Tatum. Bridges guarding him. Shot clock at six. Tatum leans in. Difficult shot. Gets it a go. Tatum. 27 points. A brilliant performance so far. Boston back up by eight. An Obi. Derek White chasing Jaylen Brunson. Fake, fire, connects. Another three-pointer for Brunson. He’s got 12 points already in the period and there’s still five minutes remaining. [Applause] Jaylen Brown gets past hard, gets to the rim, banks it home. Another aggressive attack from Jaylen Brown. And that’s just the good balance. Jaylen Brown two for six from the three-point line, but five for 12 overall. Just a consistent attack. Brunson kicks it a heart, but Porzingis was right there. Brunson, that one won’t go. Tatum grabs another rebound. Seven-point Celtic lead. Just over four and a half to go here in the third. They lob it into Porzingis. Stolen by Bridges. Brown tries to stop him. Pritchard in pursuit from behind. Knocked loose out of bounds. Still Nick Ball. Just incredible. His best game efficiency wise. Nine of 12 from the field. And it’s back to five. He’s got nine of his 19 in this third period. Tatum using the screen. [Applause] Tatum catch off the dribble. Gets in the paint. Stops falling away. Puts it up. Puts it in. Tatum dominating here in game four. The lead back up to seven. He has 29 points without a free throw. Brunson kicks it out and an Obi corner three. Rebound. Brunson. Back up. Bang. Shot is good. Brunson and Tatum throwing haymakers at each other. Two of the games elite going toe-to-toe. Peyton on the drive. Towns trying to stay with him. Shot clock at eight. Shoots another three. Won’t go. Anobi rips down the rebound. Hard in the open floor. Goes right at Brown. an inside layup.
