The New York Knicks did something you only see in movies — and sometimes at Madison Square Garden. They erased a 29-point hole, stole Game 4 of the NBA Finals, and left the crowd speechless. One tip-in by OG Anunoby decided it all, and now the Knicks stand a win away from a championship.
Knicks pull off the biggest comeback in Finals history
Down by 29 in the third quarter, New York looked dead in the water. San Antonio had control, and oddsmakers had written the Knicks off. Then the team tightened up on defense, made plays, and slowly ate into the lead. The final score was 107–106 after a miracle tip-in, and New York now leads the series 3–1. If you’re keeping track, that is the largest comeback ever in an NBA Finals game.
The shot — OG Anunoby’s glorious tip
OG Anunoby rose up and tipped in Jalen Brunson’s last-second try with about 1.2 seconds left. Brunson led the team with 36 points and seven assists, while Anunoby poured in 33. Victor Wembanyama gave the Spurs a fight with 24 points and 13 rebounds, but New York found a way. Coach Mike Brown called it one of the most iconic plays in New York basketball — and he isn’t wrong.
Team fight, coaching and city grit
This was not a one-man show. Jalen Brunson ran the offense like a veteran leader. Role players like Jose Alvarado stepped up late. Karl‑Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges all chipped in. Mike Brown’s adjustments at halftime mattered. The Knicks defended harder in the second half and attacked the boards. That kind of discipline is what wins in the playoffs.
What it means — one win from glory
New York is now a win away from ending a long championship drought. The comeback matters because it shows character. It also shows that you should never count the city out, no matter how bleak it looks on paper. The Spurs still have one more chance to push the series, but the momentum belongs to the Knicks. For fans, this felt like vindication. For the rest of the league, it was a reminder: in the NBA Finals, miracles still happen.
