Overview

  • Anunoby told Sky Sports in early August that he is “over” seeing video of the putback that he tipped in with 1.2 seconds left to win Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.
  • That tip-in capped a 107-106 comeback in which the Knicks erased a 29-point deficit, the largest rally in Finals history, and gave New York a 3-1 series edge.
  • The Knicks closed out the series in five games with a 94-90 Game 5 win in San Antonio to earn the franchise’s first championship since 1973.
  • In Game 4 Anunoby scored 33 points, made multiple three-pointers and produced a late chase-down block, and he was a key contributor during a reported 13-game postseason winning streak.
  • The comment highlights how Anunoby’s reserved persona frames the moment for him and signals a team-wide focus on forward progress as the Knicks plan for the 2026–27 season.
