Overview

  • The Knicks completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history on Wednesday, rallying from a 29-point deficit to beat the Spurs 107-106 and take a 3-1 series lead.
  • San Antonio dominated the first half, making a Finals-record 14 three-pointers and leading 76-49 at the break before scoring just 30 points after halftime and committing nine second-half turnovers.
  • OG Anunoby finished with 33 points and tipped in the game-winner with 1.2 seconds left while De’Aaron Fox’s late drive was blocked and Victor Wembanyama missed key free throws late in the fourth quarter.
  • Analysts and former players publicly criticized the Spurs’ late-game execution and shot selection, and several outlets noted that ABC/ESPN’s broadcast did not immediately analyze Fox’s final decision.
  • The series shifts to San Antonio for Game 5 on Saturday with the Spurs insisting they have 'moved on' and must win to force a Game 6 while the Knicks seek the franchise’s first championship since 1973.
