Knicks’ Wild Comeback Wins Game 4 and Nears Historic NBA Championship

A thunder‑clap in Madison Square Garden on June 10 saw the New York Knicks rally from a 29‑point hole to edge the San‑Antonio Spurs 107‑106 in the most dramatic finish in NBA Finals history.

With the clock ticking down and the Saints toppling the scoreboard, a 1.2‑second shot from OG Anunoby stole the game, sealing a 3‑1 series lead for the Knicks and putting the franchise on the brink of its first championship since 1973.

The rally set off a frenzy outside the arena—fans chanting “O‑G!” in the streets of Manhattan—while the city’s skyline glittered with Knicks colors from the Empire State Building to the marble lions at the New York Public Library.

The highlight of the night was amplified by the presence of high‑profile spectators. Taylor Swift, who wore a “Stevie Knicks” tee, jumped in celebration, while Hollywood stars Timothée Chalamet, Jimmy Fallon and Ben Stiller watched from the court, and director Spike Lee, a veteran supporter, soaked in the spectacle.

Knicks coach Mike Brown described Anunoby’s shot as “the most iconic in the history of New York basketball,” and laced it with the sense that the city itself was riding a historic wave that had not been carried since 1999.

The Knicks now need only one more win to claim the national title, with Game 5 scheduled for Saturday night in San Antonio. The Spurs, who had built a 29‑point lead, face a sudden‑death scenario: if they can win three straight, the series could swing back into their favor.
