The New York Knicks staged the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history, beating the San Antonio Spurs by one point. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.
On Wednesday night, the Knicks erased a 29-point deficit and won by one point in the last 1.2 seconds of the game. It was their first finals appearance in 27 years. The final score was 107-106, giving the Knicks a 3-1 series lead, one win away from the championship.
Player OG Anunoby scored the winning points, prompting chants of "O-G! O-G!" from fans. Taylor Swift, Timothee Chalamet, and director Spike Lee were in attendance at Madison Square Garden. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani posted "SPEECHLESS" on X. Swift wore a T-shirt reading "Stevie Knicks" and joyfully left the court.
Knicks coach Mike Brown called Anunoby's move "the most iconic shot in the history of New York basketball." This season marks the Knicks' first finals since 1999. Fans celebrated in the streets of New York City. "The city is electric," a fan told the BBC. The city is decorated in Knicks theme from the Empire State Building to the library lions.
Resident Sol, 31, said: "In 1999 I was 4 years old. I'm just trying to soak it all in." The team is close to their first championship since 1973. Game five will be on Saturday in San Antonio. However, the Spurs could still win if they take the next three games.
