New York Knicks rallied from a 29‑point hole to edge San Antonio Spurs 107‑106, pushing the series to a decisive Game 5. A final buzzer‑busting lay‑up by OG Anunoby capped the comeback, giving the Knicks a 3‑1 series edge and a chance to claim their first title since 1973.

Bradley Brunson poured 36 points, while Anunoby finished with 33 as the Spurs surged to a 27‑point halftime lead. San Antonio’s advantage ballooned to 81‑52 in the third quarter, yet the Knicks clawed back, narrowing the gap to two points with 1.2 seconds left when Anunoby tipped the missed 3‑point attempt in the game night.

Game 5 slides to Saturday night in San Antonio, where the Knicks could secure their first championship in over five decades. No franchise has ever come back from more than 24 points in a finals game since the NBA began detailed play‑by‑play in 1997, a record set by Boston in 2008.

Fans will remember the 107‑106 finish as the Knicks’ most dramatic rally in postseason history. The win shifts momentum, leaving San Antonio scrambling to close the gap. With only one game left, the series now hinges on whether San Antonio can force a Game 6 or the Knicks can seal the title in their home arena for fans.
