NEW YORK — The Knicks are one win away from their first NBA title in 53 years.
On Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks overcame a 29-point deficit in the third quarter to defeat the Spurs 107–106 and take a commanding 3–1 series lead. OG Anunoby’s tip-in with 1.2 seconds left capped the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.
“I don’t know if there’s a play bigger in the history of Knicks basketball,” Knicks coach Mike Brown said in his postgame press conference.
Game 5 is Saturday night in San Antonio. Tipoff is slated for 8:30 pm ET.
The Knicks boast the NBA’s second-highest payroll at $207 million and have been a major money-maker for owner Jim Dolan during the team’s historic run. Analysts estimated to Front Office Sports that the team will generate at least $145 million in revenue from this postseason run, all while Madison Square Garden’s stock price surges amid a possible spinoff of the Knicks and Rangers.
