What a game.

The New York Knicks headed into Game 4 of the NBA Finals fresh off their first loss in over a month and looking to get at least one Finals win in Madison Square Garden, but the things started were not ideal, to say the least.

The San Antonio Spurs were off to a blistering start, scoring 41 points in the first quarter alone and adding in a triumphant second quarter to go into the half leading by 27 points and stunning the usually exuberant Knicks home crowd. 

They didn't stop their and increased their lead to as much as 29 points early in the third quarter and at this point it looked like all hope was lost for New York and the Knicks would have to be content with simply surviving Game 4 and heading back into San Antonio with the series tied.

But, there was still another half to be played and the Knicks weren't done yet. 

The Knicks took off on a 13 point run early in the third quarter, fueled by clutch threes from across the roster, a surefire sign that the Knicks weren't going to go down without a fight. 

They'd been in this situation before, like when they turned the tables on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals to overcome a 22 point deficit and kick off what became a series sweep. Their lopsided score against the Spurs was obviously a more difficult task, but they were ready to rise to the challenge.

Slowly and steadily the Knicks climbed up the scoreboard, outscoring the Spurs 26-14 in the third quarter to cut down the San Antonio lead as the Spurs offense faltered and the Knicks offense rose. 

The Knicks had their best shooting night of the series, going 40% from three point range and led by a game-leading 36 point performance from Jalen Brunson and an equally impactful 33-point night from OG Anunoby, who continued his game-saving defense while lighting it up on the offensive end. 

Anunoby shot a staggering 7-9 from three point range as he and the Knicks took over the game and with a massive 32 point fourth quarter from the team they climbed all the way back and took their first lead of the entire game when they eclipsed 105-104 with just over a minute left in the game.

They had a chance to take the lead even sooner than that after Josh Hart stole the ball from De'Aaron Fox and raced down a wide open court, but he missed his layup when he had the chance. Brunson picked him up second later with yet-another floater, but the Knicks still only had a one point lead. 

That lead soon flipped the other way when Stephon Castle hit two clutch free throws for the Spurs and now the Knicks had just over 30 seconds to take the game back. 

Brunson missed shot and the Spurs recovered, but Anunoby came through yet again by blocking Fox's layup and sending the ball into Jose Alverado's hands to restore possession to the Knicks. 

Knicks head coach Mike Brown called a timeout and soon after the Knicks were inbounding again with just over five seconds left in the game down one point.

Naturally, the ball found it's way to Brunson, who pulled up for a go-ahead three, looking to save the game for his team the way he had so many times before.

The three was short, clanking off the front of the rim, and for just a moment all seemed lost for New York.

That was until none other than Anunoby came flying in through the fog and leaped up to tip the shot in, giving Knicks the lead 107-106 with just over a second left and securing them the win. 

Before Wednesday night, teams were 0-96 in the NBA Finals since the 1970-71 season when trailing by 17 points or more in the last nine minutes of regulation, but the Knicks changed that.

It was the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, improving the Knicks to a 4-1 lead and proving, once again, that the Knicks can never truly be counted out.
