Knicks Stun Spurs With Historic Rally From 29 Points Down

The San Antonio Spurs opened a big lead early Wednesday and silenced a Madison Square Garden crowd for a second straight time in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

But a 29-point second-half advantage wasn’t big enough. The New York Knicks rallied for a 107-106 win, mounting the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.

OG Anunoby’s putback of a missed Jalen Brunson 3 with 1.2 seconds remaining secured the victory for the Knicks and capped a wild second-half rally that made history.

“I just went and crashed to try to get a tip dunk or something,” Anunoby said. “The ball went over my head, so I couldn’t really dunk it. I just tried to tip it in softly and it went in.”

New York is now one win away from securing its first NBA championship  since 1973. To avoid that fate, the Spurs will have to win three straight, starting with Game 5 on Saturday in San Antonio.
