NEW YORK (AP) --- The New York Knicks made a record comeback from 29 points
down and moved to the brink of their first championship since 1973 by beating
the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 on Wednesday night.
OG Anunoby tipped in the miss of Jalen Brunson's long 3-point attempt with 1.2
seconds remaining to complete the rally, giving the Knicks a 3-1 lead and three
chances to win the championship.
It looked impossible early, when the Spurs rolled to a 27-point halftime lead.
But Brunson helped bring the Knicks back with 36 points and Anunoby finished
with 33.
Game 5 is Saturday night in San Antonio.
No team had come from more than 24 points down in a finals game, when Boston
did it against the Lakers in 2008, since the NBA began keeping detailed
play-by-play for all four quarters in 1997. The Spurs pushed their lead to
81-52 in the third quarter.
