Knicks Overcome 29-Point Deficit to Lead NBA Finals 3-1 Over SpursPreviousNext

The New York Knicks overcame a 29-point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, taking a 3-1 series lead and moving one win away from their first NBA title since 1973. Key performances came from Jalen Brunson, who scored 36 points, and OG Anunoby, who added 33 points and secured the winning tip-in in the final seconds. The Spurs led for much of the game, but the Knicks rallied with strong defense and timely scoring to complete the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.
