NEW YORK — The Celtics could be at full strength when they play the Knicks for Game 4 of the East semifinals. Sam Hauser was upgraded on the injury report to questionable with his right ankle sprain. Nobody else is listed on the injury report otherwise for the C’s as they’re looking to even the series against the Knicks.

The New York Knicks were in a prime position to capitalize on their 2-0 series lead over the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Saturday afternoon. New York's road to the 2-0 series lead was far from easy, as they overcame 20-point deficits in each game.

The Knicks shocked many by winning not one but two road games in Boston to open up the series, but those good vibes have since quickly diminished, setting the stage for what should be an epic Game 4. Recently, ESPN media personality and Knicks fan Stephen A. Smith hit New York with an ultimatum regarding that contest.
