The Boston Celtics will take on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday (May 12) night for Game 4 of their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series trailing the Knicks one win to New York’s two. Can the Celtics even up the East Semis series on the road before the series shifts back to their own home court of TD Garden for Game 5?

Or will they put themselves in another bind by falling into a 1-3 deficit against New York, with the last sliver of a margin of error frittered away in Game 3? We think it is more likely Boston rises to the occasion on Monday, but only the Celtics can answer that particular call.
