The New York Knicks staged one of the most dramatic comebacks in NBA history, rallying from 29 points down to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The win gave New York a 3-1 series lead and moved the franchise within one victory of its first championship since 1973. OG Anunoby tipped in a missed long 3-pointer by Jalen Brunson with 1.2 seconds left to cap the comeback, while Brunson finished with 36 points and Anunoby added 33. The Spurs had controlled much of the game, building a 27-point halftime lead and leading by as many as 29, but their offense collapsed in the second half as New York outscored them 58-30. San Antonio shot poorly from deep after a hot start, and Victor Wembanyama, despite posting 24 points and 13 rebounds, struggled from the field and missed two late free throws that could have helped preserve the lead. The article frames the comeback as historic, noting that no team had ever returned from more than 24 points down in an NBA Finals game since detailed play-by-play tracking began in 1997. The piece also highlights the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden, where fans celebrated wildly, and mentions the political and security context around President Donald Trump’s earlier presence at Game 3.

The article describes how a late-game defensive play by OG Anunoby helped trigger the New York Knicks’ dramatic 107-106 comeback win over the San Antonio Spurs in NBA Finals Game 4. With 16.1 seconds left and the Knicks trailing by one, Jalen Brunson missed a shot, and the ball was knocked into the backcourt, creating what appeared to be an easy scoring chance for Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox. Rather than holding the ball to burn clock and force the Knicks to foul, Fox immediately attacked the basket. Anunoby recovered in time to block the shot, preventing a likely score and giving New York another chance. The article emphasizes that although Anunoby’s final tip-in may receive the most attention, the defensive stop on Fox was a crucial turning point that made the comeback possible. On the postgame broadcast, Charles Barkley sharply criticized Fox’s choice, calling it a “bonehead” and a “dumbass play.” The Knicks then capitalized on the ensuing possession, with Anunoby tipping in the winning basket to complete the unlikely victory and move New York within one win of its first championship since 1973.

The article recaps the Knicks’ dramatic 107-106 Game 4 victory over the Spurs in the NBA Finals, focusing on the publication’s “heroes and zeros” framing. The clear hero was OG Anunoby, whose tip-in of a missed Jalen Brunson three-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining completed an extraordinary comeback from 29 points down in the third quarter. Anunoby finished with 33 points, including 19 in the second half and seven made three-pointers, and was celebrated by the Garden crowd chanting his name after the final buzzer. Jalen Brunson is also highlighted as an unsung hero for keeping the Knicks alive despite adversity; he scored 36 points, 19 in the second half, and played the entire final 24 minutes while adding seven assists, five rebounds, and three steals. On the other side, DeAaron Fox is labeled the night’s “zero” for a costly late-game mistake. Instead of holding the ball and forcing the Knicks to foul after a Brunson miss, Fox tried to score, lost possession, and was blocked by Anunoby, effectively sealing the game. The article emphasizes the historical significance of the comeback, noting that the Knicks erased a 29-point deficit to record the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history. The piece ends with a quote from Mike Brown praising Anunoby’s tip-in as possibly the biggest play in Knicks history.

The article argues that OG Anunoby’s tip-in with 1.2 seconds left in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals was not just a dramatic game-winner, but potentially the most important play in New York Knicks franchise history. The Knicks’ 107-106 comeback victory over the Spurs at Madison Square Garden is framed as a turning point that could seal the team’s championship run and define the season forever. The piece makes a bold historical comparison, placing Anunoby’s putback above some of the most iconic moments in Knicks lore, including Willis Reed’s two buckets in 1970, Allan Houston’s shot in Miami, John Starks’ dunk over Michael Jordan, and Larry Johnson’s four-point play. The overall argument is that, if the Knicks go on to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy, Anunoby’s tip-in will stand as the biggest shot in franchise history because of its timing, stakes, and emotional impact. The article has the tone of a celebratory sports opinion column, emphasizing the drama and legacy significance of the moment rather than offering a neutral recap.
