Boston would do so, and handily -- thanks in no small part to the Vanderbilt alum's career night vs. the Knicks in Game 5. "Throughout my time of the Celtics and throughout my career whatever coach asked me to do, I'm just there to do it," said Kornet.

The Knicks are on the verge of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. The Knicks won Game 4 by a score of 121-113, with the ending marred by Celtics’ star Jayson Tatum rupturing his Achilles in a scary scene.
