The New York Knicks are one win away from their first NBA championship since 1973.
After a historic Game 4 that saw the Knicks rally from a 29-point deficit to pull off the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, New York holds a 3-1 series lead as the Finals head back to San Antonio for Game 5. In a moment that’ll live forever in NBA history, OG Anunoby tipped in Jalen Bruson’s missed three-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining, cementing his status as a Knicks legend.
“That has to be the most iconic shot,” Knicks head coach Mike Brown said, “in the history of New York basketball.”
Only one team has ever come back from a 3-1 series deficit in the NBA Finals: LeBron James and the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers. But no team has lost the NBA Finals after winning the first two games on the road. Can the Knicks win the series in five, or will the Spurs force a Game 6? Time will tell.
