Historic Knicks comeback

The New York Knicks delivered one of the most extraordinary comebacks in NBA Finals history, overturning a 29‑point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107‑106 in Game 4 and move within one win of their first championship since 1973. Their rally now stands as the largest comeback ever recorded in the Finals, surpassing iconic turnarounds such as Boston’s +24 against the Lakers in 2008, Houston’s +20 versus Orlando in 1995, Indiana’s +15 against Oklahoma City in 2025 and Dallas’ +15 over Miami in 2011.

After trailing 76‑49 at halftime, New York transformed the game behind Jalen Brunson’s 36 points and seven assists and OG Anunoby’s 33 points. Anunoby sealed the victory with a decisive put‑back at 1.2 seconds, completing a performance destined for franchise lore. With a 3‑1 lead, the Knicks now head to San Antonio for Game 5, holding their first match point to claim the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
