Game 4 will go down as one of the most dramatic games in NBA Finals history. The Knicks erased a 29-point deficit — the largest comeback ever in a Finals game — to steal a 107–106 win and take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
San Antonio dominated early, building a massive halftime lead (76–49) behind hot shooting, including a Finals-record 14 first-half threes. But everything flipped in the second half: the Spurs went ice-cold and settled for the long-range jumpers they were hitting in the first half, while the Knicks stepped up their defense and began making shots of their own. Call it a lesson in coaching malpractice and inexperience in the big moment by the Spurs or credit the Knicks for calling on their experience as players and coaches. Either way, it has the look of a series-defining win for New York.
OG Anunoby (33 points) delivered the signature moment — a tip-in with 1.2 seconds left to complete the rally. Victor Wembanyama led San Antonio with 24 points and 13 rebounds, but the Spurs managed just 30 second-half points, a collapse goes beyond defining this series.
The result: New York is one win from its first title since 1973, while San Antonio faces elimination and must somehow regroup emotionally and tactically. Can the Knicks carry over the momentum earned in Game 4 and close out the series? Or will the Spurs be able to overcome the emotional toll the Game 4 loss must have taken on them to stay alive in Game 5?
