Overview
- The Knicks erased a 29-point halftime deficit and won Game 4 107–106 at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.
- OG Anunoby finished with 33 points and his tip-in with 1.2 seconds left decided the game while Jalen Brunson led New York with 36 points and seven assists.
- San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama posted 24 points and 13 rebounds but missed key shots late as the Spurs collapsed in the second half and now must win three straight games to take the title.
- Taylor Swift and a high-profile courtside crowd drew extra national attention to the Garden and celebrations in Manhattan after the win led the NYPD to report 56 arrests for disorderly conduct and related offenses.
- A Knicks victory in the next game in San Antonio would end the franchise's 53-year title drought and could further boost TV interest and public celebrations, while the Spurs face the rare task of reversing a 1–3 Finals hole.
