Overview
- Anunoby finished Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals with a game-winning tip-in off a Jalen Brunson miss with 1.2 seconds left that completed New York’s 107-106 comeback from a 29-point deficit.
- The comeback in Game 4 helped shift momentum and the Knicks closed the series by winning Game 5 in San Antonio 94-90 to claim the franchise’s first NBA title since 1973.
- In an interview with Ellie Prophet of Sky Sports/Sky News published August 8, 2026, Anunoby said the replay “comes up quite a bit” and added, “No. I’m over it now.”
- Reporters describe Anunoby as calm and reserved, and the tip-in markedly raised his public profile, with outlets noting wide replay circulation and at least one report saying the moment earned an ESPY.
- His comment suggests a focus on the next season and team goals while fans and media continue to replay and award the Game 4 moment as a defining moment of the Knicks’ title run.
