Historic First Half: The Spurs’ Outburst by the Numbers
The Western Conference champions put together a legendary first half in Game 4 in New York, on the way to several records.
San Antonio erupted in the first half of Game 4 in New York against the Knicks, with the scoreboard showing 76,49 in its favor at halftime. The Spurs set the record for the largest halftime lead, 27, by a road team in an NBA Finals game, excluding the 2020 bubble, and also broke the Finals halftime three-point record, previously held by Cleveland in 2017, with 14.
Victor Wembanyama and his teammates also tied for the third-highest point total in a half in NBA Finals history. It was the highest such total by a road team. The visitors reached 76 points while shooting 60% from the field, 54% from three-point range and 100% from the free-throw line. Wemby had 16 points at halftime, Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell had 15 each, and De'Aaron Fox had 13.
