The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, overcoming a 29-point deficit to secure the victory. The triumph gives New York a commanding 3-1 series lead and moves the franchise within one win of its first championship in 53 years.
The historic 29-point turnaround culminated in a thrilling final sequence at Madison Square Garden, according to The Guardian report which confirmed the final 107-106 score. New York trailed heavily before mounting a furious fourth-quarter push that left the San Antonio defense searching for answers.
New York completed the rally when OG Anunoby executed a tip-in with just 1.2 seconds left on the game clock, tracking down a missed floating jumper from Jalen Brunson. Details from The Guardian live coverage showed Brunson finished the night with 36 points and seven assists to spearhead the offensive surge.
Anunoby delivered an incredibly efficient performance, scoring 33 points and hitting seven of his nine attempts from beyond the three-point arc. This win pushes the team ahead in the best-of-seven matchup, as reported by Sportsnet in their analysis of the 3-1 series lead. The Knicks put together a 28-9 run over a seven-minute stretch late in the game to erase the advantage built by San Antonio.
San Antonio center Victor Wembanyama played 44 minutes, recording 24 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks. Despite his early production, the Spurs offense stalled late, allowing New York to secure the win. The series now shifts back to San Antonio for Game 5 on Saturday night.
