The New York Knicks made a record comeback from 29 points down to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 on Wednesday night. OG Anunoby tipped in the miss of Jalen Brunson’s long 3-point attempt with 1.2 seconds remaining to complete the rally, giving the Knicks a 3-1 lead and three chances to win the championship.

Historic Comeback

It looked impossible early, when the Spurs rolled to a 27-point halftime lead. But Brunson helped bring the Knicks back with 36 points and Anunoby finished with 33. No team had come from more than 24 points down in a finals game, when Boston did it against the Lakers in 2008, since the NBA began keeping detailed play-by-play for all four quarters in 1997.

Game 5 is Saturday night in San Antonio. The Spurs pushed their lead to 81-52 in the third quarter, but the Knicks’ determination and perseverance paid off in the end.
