Historic Final Comeback Puts the Knicks One Win From the Title
An enormous fourth-quarter comeback led the New York Knicks to a 107-106 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals late Thursday night. The Knicks now lead the series 3-1 and are just one game away from the league championship for the first time since 1973.
The Spurs were already ahead 76-49 at halftime and extended their lead to 29 points during the third quarter, but the New York team staged a remarkable rally and erased the largest deficit ever overcome by a team in an NBA Finals game. Jalen Brunson led New York with 36 points, while OG Anunoby added 33 points, including the game-winning basket after tipping in a Brunson shot with only 1.2 seconds left.
On the other side, the Spurs' French star Victor Wembanyama finished with 24 points on just 36 percent shooting, and also added 13 rebounds. The series now returns to San Antonio for Game 5, where a Knicks win would clinch the championship. If the Spurs win, Game 6 will be played in New York.
