The New York Knicks are on the brink of their first title since 1973 after pulling off the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history. They rallied from a 29-point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 by a score of 107-106.

Historic Comeback

The Knicks came back from a 76-49 halftime deficit, with the Spurs having the largest lead by a road team in Finals history. The previous largest comeback in Finals history was almost 20 years ago when the Boston Celtics came back from 24 points down against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Knicks continued to chip away at the Spurs’ lead little by little throughout the fourth quarter, with Madison Square Garden getting louder and louder as belief surged through the building. The lead got into single digits and then got closer until it was finally just one possession.

Knicks All-Star guard Brunson was the spark plug, giving New York their first lead of the game with just 1:22 left in the fourth quarter. The Spurs took a 106-105 lead with just 30 seconds remaining, but the Knicks were able to pull off the win with a tipped-in rebound by OG Anunoby with 1.2 seconds left.
