The Boston Celtics have the Brooklyn Nets on the brink of elimination.
After pulling off the first road win of the series on Saturday, defeating the Nets 109-103 in Brooklyn, the Celtics are one victory away from ending the Nets' season.
Jayson Tatum has been undeniable in this series, going for 39 points, six assists, six steals and five rebounds to lead Boston in Game 4.
That stat line put him in great company, joining Michael Jordan and Rick Barry as the only players in NBA history to post a 30-5-5-5 game.

The Celtics' defense is getting to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, keeping both stars in check over the last two games. Durant has been quiet the entire series, only averaging 22.0 points on 36.5 percent shooting from the field. After Irving's 39-point explosion in Game 1, he failed to eclipse the 20-point mark in Games 2 and 3.
Can the Nets turn things around and avoid a sweep? Or will the Celtics take care of business and advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals?
