Maybe the Empire State Building? — for the greatest putback in New York Knicks’ history, finishing off the biggest in-game comeback in NBA Finals history and and moving the Knicks to within one win of their first title since 1973.Trailing by 29 early in the second half, New York clawed its way back to win Game 4 over the San Antonio Spurs, 107-106, on Anunoby’s putback of a Jalen Brunson miss with 1.2 seconds left. The Spurs had one more chance but Stephon Castle fumbled the in-bounds pass, and pandemonium at Madison Square Garden followed.Brunson led the Knicks with 36 points and Anunoby contributed 33 points. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 24 points.
This was the Knicks’ second great comeback of the playoffs; they also fought from 22 down with eight minutes left in Game 1 of the conference finals to beat Cleveland in overtime.New York can close out the finals and claim the franchise’s third title with a win Saturday in San Antonio. Game 5 is at 8:30 p.m. at the Frost Bank Center.This story will be updated.Jun 11, 2026Connections: Sports EditionSpot the pattern. Connect the termsFind the hidden link between sports terms
