The New York Knicks visit the San Antonio Spurs tonight at Frost Bank Center for Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Knicks lead the series 3-1 and are just one win away from their first championship since 1973, Yankee Scores reports.
The Greatest Comeback in Finals History
Wednesday’s Game 4 is already being called one of the greatest in NBA Finals history. The Knicks came back from a 29-point deficit, the largest comeback in Finals history, beating the Spurs 107-106 on OG Anunoby’s game-winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds left. The play is currently being labeled on the internet as The hand of OG
Brunson led the Knicks with 36 points, while Anunoby added 33, tipping in Brunson’s missed three-pointer to secure the surprise win. “That has to be the most iconic shot in the history of New York basketball,” said Knicks coach Mike Brown.

Wembanyama’s Back Against the Wall
For the Spurs, the sting of that collapse still lingers. Wembanyama played 44 minutes in Game 4 and now has to address several correctable mistakes his team needs to fix, including De’Aaron Fox attempting a layup in the final seconds while the Spurs led by one instead of forcing the Knicks to foul.
However, if Wembanyama can perform at his best, the Spurs can still find a way out of this situation. Each game in this series has gone down to the final possession. His Finals averages of 27.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks show he can help San Antonio get back into this series.
The Knicks have lost the first quarter in all four games, trailing by double digits each time, yet they remain more composed during crunch time. One more quarter of resilience could make New York champions.
