Knicks lead 3-1 after overturning a 29‑point hole in Game 4, the largest halftime comeback in postseason history. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby each scored 30+ points, sparking a 27‑point rally that set the stage for a dramatic Game 5.

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson faces a dilemma: restart with fresh legs or keep Victor Wembanyama on the floor. The 44‑minute defender has carved double‑digit leads in every match, yet the Spurs committed costly mistakes late in Game 4 that cost them a chance at the title.

Knicks guard OG Anunoby emerges as the MVP candidate, having delivered the most dominant playoff performances. Analysts predict a five‑game series, with the Knicks clinching in San Antonio and Anunoby earning the Finals MVP.

The outcome will decide whether the Knicks finally break their 1973‑era drought or whether the Spurs can rally to force a Game 6 at home. The series will end in five, sealing the championship for New York.
