Knicks stage historic comeback to beat Spurs, one win from NBA title

The New York Knicks staged the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history on Wednesday as they erased a 29-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 and now need one more win to seal the title.

OG Anunoby’s soft-as-silk tip-in basket with 1.2 seconds left sealed the thrilling victory to give the Knicks a 3-1 stranglehold on the best-of-seven championship series, which shifts back to San Antonio for game five on Saturday.

Jalen Brunson scored 36 points and Anunoby added 33 for New York, putting in the game-winner off Brunson’s three-point attempt that struck the rim.

“Just do whatever it takes to win,” Anunoby said of the basket that sent a star-studded crowd at Madison Square Garden into a frenzy as it put the Knicks on the brink of their first title since 1973.

“I inbounded the ball to Jalen. He got a pretty good look and I just went and crashed. The ball went over my head, so I couldn’t really dunk it. So I tried to tip it in softly and it went in.”

Spurs star Victor Wembanyama scored 24 points and pulled down 13 rebounds.
