AFTER THE FINAL buzzer sounded and the New York Knicks poured onto the Little Caesars Arena floor to celebrate their series-clinching Game 6 win over the Detroit Pistons, forward Mikal Bridges secured his headset for an interview with legendary play-by-play announcer Mike Breen.

The Boston Celtics, who just lost Jayson Tatum (Achilles) for the season, and the Golden State Warriors, who remain without Steph Curry (hamstring), are both down 3-1 in their respective series.

Jalen Brunson did most of the damage, cooking the suddenly vulnerable Celtics defense for 39 points. It felt like 59.

The Knicks now find themselves with a commanding 3-1 series lead, which puts them just one win away from their first Eastern Conference Finals trip in 25 years.

The Boston Celtics’ season is on the brink.
