The New York Knicks just pulled of the most thrilling game and the largest comeback in NBA history and it took the effort of every player on the roster to get there. 

At one point, the Knicks trailed by as much as 29 points early in the third quarter and it looked like all hope was lost. That was until the Knicks took off on a series of runs that eventually led them to overtaking the Spurs and coming away with a 107-106 victory. 

There were so many individual efforts across the board that led the Knicks to such a historic comeback and victory to take a 3-1 lead over the Spurs. 

From Jalen Brunson's game leading 36 point performance to OG Anunoby's titanic contributions on both ends of the floor, including his game-winning put back with just over a second left in the game to give the Knicks the lead and Karl-Anthony Towns' continued defensive efforts inside the paint to contain Victor Wembanyama.

But, there is one player who has often been relegated to the bench that shined in a major way against the Spurs on Wednesday night, and it was that player that Knicks head coach Mike Brown took time out of his postgame press conference to shout out in a big way.

"I'm going to f***ing clap for Jose [Alvarado]," Brown said (via SNY). "Jose was unbelievable tonight. He changed the game. His speed, his ability to touch the paint... He made some great basketball plays offensively tonight, and then he was great defensively."

Jose Alvarado has been a major piece of the Knicks ever since he was acquired at the trade deadline from the New Orleans Pelicans this past season and on Wednesday night more than ever he showed the extent of his abilities.

Throughout this season, Alvarado has been a spark off the bench for the Knicks, using his crafty defense and three point shotmaking abilities to add a major lift to the Knicks when the stars aren't on the floor. 

Often, he's been utilized as a switch-in for Brunson, including in the first three games of the NBA Finals, but Game 4 was a different story. 

Especially in the fourth quarter, Brown gave Alvarado meaningful minutes and had him sharing the floor with Brunson and Alvarado did not disappoint with this newfound opportunity. 

He hit a number of clutch threes late in the game that helped power the Knicks' comeback and with both those big shots and his typical defensive strengths Alvarado made an impact in a big way, scoring eight points with two rebounds and three assists. 

Alvarado's impact speaks to the level of depth that the Knicks have at their disposal and that depth and Brown's ability to utilize it has been one of many reasons that the Knicks have been so successful overall and why they were able to pull off their historic comeback Wednesday night.
