Spurs Lose 107‑106 After Surrendering 29‑Point Lead in NBA Finals Game 4

The San Antonio Spurs saw a 29‑point advantage evaporate in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, falling 107‑106 to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The loss set a record for the biggest blown lead in Finals history. Victor Wembanyama called the defeat “painful,” while rookie guard Dylan Harper and forward Keldon Johnson described it as a “tough pill to swallow.”

Key moments included De’Aaron Fox’s aborted layup with the shot clock off, which was blocked by OG Anunoby to set up the Knicks’ game‑winning tip‑in. The Spurs shot only 8‑of‑39 in the second half after a dominant first half that featured a Finals record 14 three‑pointers. Wembanyama logged a career‑high 44 minutes and entered the series with three flagrant‑foul points, risking a suspension if another is assessed.

Facing a 3‑1 series deficit, the Spurs vowed to rebound, emphasizing that the loss could either be a “bad” ending or a catalyst for a stronger effort in the upcoming games.
