Overview
- The Knicks erased a 29-point deficit and beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in a game that ended with OG Anunoby tipping in Jalen Brunson’s missed three with 1.2 seconds left on Wednesday.
- Jalen Brunson scored 36 points and Anunoby finished with 33, and coach Mike Brown called the putback one of the most iconic plays in New York basketball history.
- San Antonio built the 29-point lead by halftime but went cold in the second half, and key errors and a late lapse allowed New York to overcome the advantage.
- Spurs star Victor Wembanyama played heavy minutes, showed signs of fatigue late and has accrued multiple flagrant points this postseason that could affect his availability if the series continues.
- The win gives the Knicks a 3-1 edge in the Finals, sends Game 5 to San Antonio as an elimination game for the Spurs, and deepens a season-long narrative of New York’s resilience that could end a 53-year title drought.
