Anunoby's game-winner caps epic Knicks comeback for 3-1 NBA Finals lead
NEW YORK, United States — The New York Knicks staged the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history as they erased a 29-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 and move within one win of the title.
OG Anunoby's tip-in basket with 1.2 seconds left sealed the thrilling win to give the Knicks a 3-1 stranglehold on the best-of-seven championship series.
Anunoby’s winner came right after Jalen Brunson missed a 3-pointer, and with 1.2 seconds left, the Spurs — up 76-49 by halftime in the biggest lead of the series — failed to convert in the final possession.

Brunson scored 36 points and Anunoby added 33 for New York.
"Just do whatever it takes to win," Anunoby said of the basket that sent a star-studded crowd at the Madison Square Garden into a frenzy.
Spurs star Victor Wembanyama scored 24 points and pulled down 13 rebounds.
Dylan Harper added 21 points and De'Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell had 18 apiece for San Antonio, which set a Finals record with 14 3-pointers in the first half but couldn't make their massive lead stand up.
Brunson put New York in front for the first time with a floater that made it 105-104 with 1:22 remaining.
San Antonio's Stephon Castle made a pair of free throws but the Knicks came through, with Anunoby rising from a scrum of Spurs defenders to clinch the win.
The previous biggest comeback in the Finals was 24 points, by the Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2008.
