But Brunson helped bring the Knicks back with 36 points and Anunoby (7 for 9 from 3-point range) finished with 33.<\/p>\n<p>Game 5 is Saturday night in San Antonio.<\/p>\n<p>No team had come from more than 24 points down to win a Finals game, when Boston did it against the Lakers in 2008, since the NBA began keeping detailed play-by-play for all four quarters in 1997. The Spurs pushed their lead to 81-52 in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The only bigger comeback on record in any playoff game was 31 points by the Clippers against Golden State in Game 2 of a first-round series in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks had their 13-game winning streak snapped in Game 3 and seemed headed for a second straight defeat throughout the first half, when Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs opened the biggest halftime lead by a visiting team in the Finals.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But the young Spurs, who made 11 of their first 16 3-pointers, went cold in the second half, going 3 for 17 from behind the arc as the Knicks outscored them 58-30.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got on our heels \u2013 we missed some shots,\u201d Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019s disappointing, to say the least.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Delirious fans inside Madison Square Garden sang along to Journey\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Believin\u2019\u201d a few minutes after watching something that seemed almost impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Wembanyama\u00a0had 24 points and 13 rebounds but shot just 9 for 25 from the field.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Road teams had won the first three games, only the second time that had happened in the Finals. San Antonio was well on its way to making it 4 for 4.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=14052\">Santa Anita consensus picks for Thursday, June 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump wasn\u2019t at this game \u2013 Taylor Swift was \u2013 but the same restrictions remained around MSG as when he attended Game 3. That angered the Knicks, who decided not to go forward with plans to hold an outdoor watch party outside the arena.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the building in the first half, there wasn\u2019t much for the hosts to be happy about, either.<\/p>\n<p>But the Knicks gave themselves a chance by limiting the Spurs to 14 points on 4-for-20 shooting in the third quarter, using a 13-0 run to get back in it and cutting it to 90-75 heading to the fourth.<\/p>\n<p>These Knicks, who erased a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter against Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, just don\u2019t quit. Even when the comeback seemed for naught when Stephon Castle was fouled after the Knicks had taken the lead and made two free throws to put San Antonio back ahead with 30 seconds left, the Knicks had one more rally in them.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Harper scored 21 points and De\u2019Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell each had 18 for the Spurs, who will try to regroup and send the series back to New York for Game 6 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Fans booed Wembanyama when he came on to the floor to warm up about an hour before the game and the Knicks tried to get rough with him, with Mitchell Robinson called for a flagrant foul for hitting him above the shoulders and Jose Alvarado reviewed for one after going below the belt.<\/p>\n<p>Wembanyama \u2013 who was also called for a flagrant \u2013 stood up OK against the Knicks but will regret the two free throws he missed with 1:47 left and San Antonio leading 104-103.<\/p>\n<p><em>Much more to come on this story.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>OG ANUNOBY WITH THE PUTBACK.<\/p>\n<p>KNICKS COMPLETE THE 29-PT COMEBACK FOR THE WIN.<\/p>\n<p>LARGEST COMEBACK IN NBA FINALS HISTORY \ud83e\udd2f pic.twitter.com\/ZtWVWY6JsR<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 11, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Do whatever it takes to win\u2026 I just tried to make a play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OG Anunoby (33 PTS) on his GAME-WINNER as the Knicks mount the largest comeback in NBA Finals history (29 points) \ud83e\udd2f\ud83d\udea8 https:\/\/t.co\/Xu4OesLdPQ pic.twitter.com\/D47Z6qric8<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=14051\">Gulls coach Matt McIlvane leaving to join Boston Bruins\u2019 staff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NBA (@NBA) June 11, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trailing by 29 points in the third quarter (and 20 in the fourth), New York gets a game-winning tip-in from OG Anunoby with 1.2 seconds left in a 107-106 win that is the largest comeback in Finals history.
