New York Knicks complete historic 29‑point comeback to beat San Antonio Spurs in NBA Finals
In Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks erased a 29‑point deficit – the largest comeback ever in a Finals game – to win 107‑106 over the San Antonio Spurs. Guard Jalen Brunson led the rally with 36 points and seven assists, while OG Anunoby provided the decisive tip‑in with 1.2 seconds remaining.
The Spurs’ 7‑foot‑4 Victor Wembanyama was involved in a controversial shove on Brunson that was reviewed but not classified as a flagrant foul, prompting criticism from former players such as Carmelo Anthony. The game featured a celebrity‑filled crowd, including Taylor Swift, and saw police arrests after fans clashed on the streets following the Knicks’ victory. The win puts New York up 3‑1 in the best‑of‑seven series, putting them within one game of their first championship since 1973.
