Overview
- The Knicks erased a 29-point deficit to beat the Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 on Wednesday, capped by OG Anunoby’s tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining.
- San Antonio led 76-49 at halftime but scored just 30 points after the break, shot 8-for-39 in the second half, and committed nine turnovers that fueled the collapse.
- Victor Wembanyama finished Game 4 with 24 points and 13 rebounds, missed two late free throws, said the team has “moved on,” and figures to have his minutes managed going forward.
- Game 5 is set for Saturday at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on ABC/ESPN and carries do-or-die stakes because the Spurs must win three straight games to extend the series.
- The series has been decided by the smallest margins—San Antonio has lost two one-point games—and the Spurs’ youth, fatigue and late-game execution are now the key storylines for their long-term outlook.
