Knicks stage historic NBA Finals comeback to stun Spurs, take 3-1 lead

OG Anunoby‘s tip-in with 1.2 seconds left completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history as the New York Knicks bolted back from a 29-point deficit in Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs, bringing them one step closer to their first championship since 1973.

San Antonio was in full control for most of the game, and then sloppy play and poor shooting allowed the Knicks to take a 3-1 series lead.

Jalen Brunson scored 36 points, including a 3-pointer with 2:21 left that gave New York its first lead at 104-103. His five-foot floater in the lane a minute later gave it another one-point lead.

Stephon Castle‘s two free throws gave the Spurs their last lead at 106-105 with 30.3 seconds.

The Spurs’ last shot at the buzzer missed, sending the Madison Square Garden crowd into a frenzy. New York takes a 3-1 series lead and Game 5 is Saturday night in San Antonio.

Madison Square Garden filled up again as they host Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs.
