“It is one game. There are a lot of emotional highlands and declines in separating matches, but regardless of what is happening to continue to move forward.”
Bronson was absent from layoffs with three seconds in the regulations, while Jason Tatom, who was a joint scorer for The CelTics with 23 points, missed a long-term effort in the bell with the result in 100-100 before Knicks closed the extra time.
