The Celtics blew a 14-point lead, then lost their best player to injury in a Game 4 loss to the Knicks that pushed Boston to the brink of elimination.

Tatum suffered what appeared to be a serious lower leg injury late in the fourth quarter. He writhed in pain on the court, had to be carried off by Celtics staffers and was seen on ESPN’s broadcast riding in a wheelchair after exiting down the tunnel.

Edwards finished with 30 points, and Julius Randle had 31. Minnesota shot 16 for 34 (47%) from 3, while a Stephen Curry -less Golden State was 8 for 27 (30%) from deep. Jimmy Butler (14 points) continues to be far too passive in Curry's absence, Brad Botkin writes.
