Knicks One Win From NBA Title After 29-Point Game 4 Comeback

A Game 5 win in San Antonio would deliver the Knicks their first NBA championship since 1973.

Overview

  • The Knicks lead the 2026 NBA Finals 3-1 after a 107-106 Game 4 victory that erased a 29-point deficit and featured OG Anunoby's decisive play and 33 points.
  • Jalen Brunson paced New York with 36 points in the comeback that shifted momentum in the series.
  • Game 5 is set to be played in San Antonio and would end the series if the Knicks win, giving New York its third NBA title.
  • The Spurs face elimination in Game 5 and have only one precedent for overcoming a 3-1 Finals deficit, when Cleveland rallied in 2016.
  • If San Antonio wins Game 5 the series would return to Madison Square Garden for Game 6 and a Spurs win there would force a decisive Game 7.
