June 11th - According to ESPN, the New York Knicks staged an epic comeback in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Trailing by as many as 29 points, the Knicks ultimately prevailed 107-106 over the San Antonio Spurs thanks to OG Anunoby's putback with 1.2 seconds remaining, taking a 3-1 series lead.
With 4.3 seconds left in the game, Jalen Brunson hit a crucial three-pointer to give the Knicks the lead. The Knicks then secured the win with a putback by OG Anunoby, completing the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.
"Life needs a bit of luck, and so does sports. But you can also create your own luck," Knicks head coach Mike Brown said after the game. "The most important message from this game is never stop fighting."
“ We knew this was going to be a back-and-forth game, ” said Anunoby, who is averaging 23.8 points per game in this series, shooting 58% from the field . “ We’re a very resilient team and have come back from behind many times. The key is to persevere, stay calm, and maintain execution. ”
He added that the team broke down their comeback attempt into a series of plays: " We took it one possession at a time, first narrowing the gap to 18 points, then down to 6 , and then pushing forward again. This isn't something that can be done in one go; it's a 48- minute game, and we have to fight until the very last second. "
Speaking about the situation at halftime, Brunson said, "There's not much to say at that point. We just needed to catch up little by little and create chances."
