Expect Boston to target Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns in the 1st Celtics-Knicks playoff series since 2013.

The Timberwolves star joined Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Moses Malone, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the only players to record a similar statline in a closeout game.
