The New York Knicks erased a 20-point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in one of the largest comebacks in NBA Finals history. The dramatic victory gives New York a 3-1 series lead and puts the franchise one win away from its first championship in 53 years.
New York rallied from a 20-point deficit to defeat the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The New York Knicks produced a stunning turnaround Wednesday night, rallying from a 20-point first-half deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 117-114 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. Facing the prospect of a tied series, New York mounted one of the largest comebacks in Finals history to seize a commanding 3-1 lead and move within one victory of its first NBA championship since 1973.
The Spurs appeared firmly in control for much of the game, using strong performances from Victor Wembanyama and efficient shooting to build a sizable advantage. But the Knicks gradually shifted momentum in the second half behind the leadership of Jalen Brunson, whose scoring and playmaking helped fuel the comeback. New York tightened its defense, forced key turnovers and capitalized on transition opportunities as the deficit steadily disappeared before a roaring home crowd.
The victory adds another memorable chapter to a postseason run defined by resilience and comeback performances. With the series returning to San Antonio for Game 5, the Knicks now have an opportunity to capture the franchise's first title in more than five decades. The Spurs, meanwhile, face elimination despite appearing poised to regain control of the Finals for much of Game 4.
