Knicks erase – New York erased a 29-point deficit to beat San Antonio 107-106 in Game 4, the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. OG Anunoby’s tip-in with 1.2 seconds left sealed the win as the Knicks took a 3-1 series lead, just one victory from their first championship
Bedlam hit the Garden like a wave—then it kept rising. fueled by a number that looked impossible the moment it flashed on the screen. In Game 4 of the NBA Finals. the New York Knicks erased a 29-point deficit to rally past the San Antonio Spurs 107-106. grabbing a commanding 3-1 series lead on Wednesday.
The comeback didn’t just happen. It detonated late. New York turned a widening hole into a fourth-quarter eruption. finishing the final frame with a 32-16 scoring edge and capping it with a furious 20-4 run. When the clock finally ran down. OG Anunoby put a statement exclamation mark on the night—delivering a tip-in with 1.2 seconds left to put the Knicks ahead for good.
Jalen Brunson carried the historic push from start to finish, finishing with 36 points, five rebounds, seven assists and three steals. Anunoby wasn’t far behind, scoring 33 points and going 7-of-9 from beyond the arc as the Knicks kept draining big shots while the deficit evaporated.
For San Antonio. the night belonged to Victor Wembanyama—24 points and 13 rebounds—but the numbers tell the story of a team that couldn’t get the same traction at the finish. He shot 9-of-25 overall and managed only five points in the fourth quarter. The Spurs also missed the kind of free throws that turn comebacks into funerals. with a pair of missed attempts coming in the final moments.
As a team, San Antonio went cold in the closing stretch, shooting just 4-of-19 in the fourth quarter. Dylan Harper, a rookie, tried to keep the Spurs steady off the bench with 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting, but New York’s closing surge was too sharp, too fast.
This wasn’t just a win—it was a record. The 29-point rally is officially the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history, surpassing the previous record of 24 points. With the Knicks now one victory away from the franchise’s first NBA championship in 53 years and third all-time. the momentum has shifted in a way that feels heavy and immediate.
San Antonio, meanwhile, now faces an unforgiving climb: they have to become just the second team in NBA Finals history to overcome a 3-1 deficit.
Game 5 returns on Saturday in San Antonio, with the Spurs chasing answers after a fourth-quarter collapse that turned a series into a countdown.
