Knicks, Celtics Ticket Prices Soar for Game 6 at Madison Square Garden

New York had a chance to close the Celtics out in Boston via a gentleman's sweep but ran into an unexpected buzzsaw in the form of the what might have legitimately been the best outing of center Luke Kornet's life. 

Boston's backup big man played 26 minutes and shot 100% from the field (5-of-5), scoring 10 points complemented by nine rebounds and seven blocked shots. Kornet also tallied a steal and an assist on his way to a plus-20 tally in the plus-minus category on the night. 

Derrick White added 34 points, while Jaylen Brown dropped in 26 points, as the Celtics connected on nearly 45% of their 3-point attempts (22-of-49) and won the game with ease, 127-102. 

Wednesday night marked the first time in the series that Boston outscored New York in the fourth quarter, a feat aided by the fact that Jalen Brunson fouled out midway through the final stanza in a game the Knicks were already losing big by that point. 

New York opened as a 2.5-point favorite to close out the series at MSG in Game 6 and move on to face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
