Knicks 29-Point Rally Stuns NBA in Game 4

For much of Wednesday’s game at Madison Square Garden, it looked as if the Knicks were headed for a crushing defeat. San Antonio built a large lead, led by Victor Wembanyama, while New York struggled to find rhythm on both ends. By late in the second quarter the Spurs were ahead by 29 points.

That deficit, in Game 4 of the NBA Finals at home, seemed decisive. Instead, the Knicks mounted a sustained comeback and won 107-106, trimming the Spurs’ chances and taking a 3–1 series lead. With the victory New York moves within one win of its first NBA title since 1973.

The Spurs’ early control of the game was clear: they moved the ball well, got open perimeter shots, and limited New York’s opportunities. The Knicks missed shots and lagged on rotations, and the Madison Square Garden crowd grew quiet as the margin expanded.

The momentum began to change in the third quarter. New York improved its defense, increased its rebounding and forced turnovers. Those stops, combined with a louder, more engaged crowd, helped the team erase the large deficit. As the game tightened, the arena’s energy rose and the comeback became a real possibility.

Notable elements of the evening included the presence of many celebrities courtside, who were seen reacting as the game swung back toward the Knicks. On the court, Jalen Brunson provided steady leadership through the run, managing the pace, attacking matchups, and making key plays down the stretch. His performance reinforced his impact on this playoff run.

The final decisive play came from OG Anunoby, whose tip-in in the closing seconds put New York ahead and triggered a strong reaction from the crowd. The play completed a comeback that will be remembered as one of the more dramatic reversals in a Finals game.

While Wednesday’s win gives New York a commanding 3–1 advantage, the series is not over. San Antonio and Wembanyama remain capable opponents, and the Spurs have shown resilience throughout the season. Still, the result has altered the series’ dynamic and placed significant pressure on San Antonio heading into the next game.
