New York Knicks rally for historic comeback against San Antonio Spurs
Summary

The New York Knicks staged the largest comeback in NBA Finals history during Game 4, overcoming a 29-point deficit against the San Antonio Spurs on June 10, 2026. OG Anunoby’s tip-in secured the win after Jalen Brunson's missed 3-point shot, putting the Knicks within one victory of their first championship since 1973. Coach Mike Brown labeled Anunoby’s play as potentially the most iconic in New York basketball lore. The series now heads back to San Antonio for Game 5 with New York holding momentum, as Spurs star Victor Wembanyama faces a potential one-game suspension due to accumulating flagrant fouls. While fans celebrated, tensions flared outside the arena, resulting in 56 arrests.
