Knicks Complete 29-Point Comeback as Anunoby Tip Gives Them 3-1 Finals Lead

OG Anunoby's last-second tip finished a rally that puts New York one win away from its first NBA title since 1973.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby scores the game-winning bucket in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Overview

  • The Knicks erased a 29-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 on Wednesday, marking the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.
  • OG Anunoby tipped in Jalen Brunson's missed 3 with 1.2 seconds left to win the game, finishing with 33 points while Brunson scored 36.
  • San Antonio led 76-49 at halftime but scored just 30 points after the break and squandered multiple late chances, a collapse that drew criticism of De'Aaron Fox's late possession decision.
  • Victor Wembanyama logged heavy minutes, showed signs of fatigue in the second half, and sits one postseason flagrant point short of an automatic suspension if assessed another.
  • The Knicks now lead the series 3-1 and will try to clinch the franchise's first championship since 1973 in Game 5 on Saturday in San Antonio while fans and local figures celebrated at Madison Square Garden after the win.
