Overview
- The Knicks completed a 107-106 comeback in Game 4 after trailing by 29 points, securing a 3-1 lead in the 2026 NBA Finals.
- In the closing sequence OG Anunoby forced a turnover, Josh Hart raced the length of the court but missed a breakaway layup, De'Aaron Fox then committed a late error, and Anunoby scored a 1.2-second putback to win the game.
- Video of Hart's missed layup and Larry David's dramatic courtside reaction circulated widely online and was embedded in multiple outlets the same day.
- Hart finished the night with modest scoring but strong counting stats and drew immediate scrutiny for the miss that spectators initially fixated on before the game-winning play.
- A 29-point rally is unusually large in Finals play and shifts momentum toward New York as the series moves to Game 5 in San Antonio, where the Spurs must win to avoid a potential series-clinching matchup.
