纽约——OG·阿努诺比 (OG Anunoby) 腾空而起——他是从哪儿飞过来的？难道是帝国大厦吗？——完成了纽约尼克斯队史上最伟大的补篮，为NBA总决赛历史上最大单场逆转画上了句号，并帮助尼克斯距离自1973年以来的首个总冠军仅差一场胜利。
在下半场开始阶段一度落后多达29分的情况下，纽约尼克斯一路苦苦追赶，凭借阿努诺比在比赛还剩1.2秒时补进杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 投失的球，以107-106险胜圣安东尼奥马刺，赢下了第四场比赛。
砍下36分并主导了这场大逆转的布伦森，在最后一攻中三分弹筐而出，但阿努诺比在所有人头顶高高跃起，控制住落点并将球补进。
马刺本还有最后一次机会，但斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 没能接稳边线发球，麦迪逊广场花园随即陷入了狂欢的海洋。尼克斯目前在系列赛中以3-1领先，并成为2026年总决赛中第一支在主场取胜的球队。
尼克斯若能在周六于圣安东尼奥进行的第五场比赛中取胜，就将终结总决赛，夺得队史第三座总冠军奖杯。第五场比赛将于晚上8:30在冰霜银行中心打响。
阿努诺比本场命中7记三分，贡献了33分。卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 整晚都在与犯规麻烦作斗争，最终贡献了13分和10个篮板。与此同时，布伦森全场送出7次助攻，并在第四节砍下9分——而第四节开始时，尼克斯还落后15分。替补后卫何塞·阿尔瓦拉多 (Jose Alvarado) 在逆转中发挥了巨大作用，在第四节替补出场砍下8分。
考虑到这场比赛的分量，这无疑是法国新星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 年轻职业生涯中遭遇的最令人震惊的失利。他得到24分和13个篮板领跑马刺，而新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 表现极其出色，替补出场为马刺贡献了21分。但这场失利将在未来的几个月甚至更长时间里，一直笼罩在他们和队友们的心头。
马刺在第一节最多领先达21分，并在首节结束时以41-22领先，这是NBA总决赛历史上客场球队在首节结束时取得的最大领先优势。半场结束时，马刺在三分线外26投14中，创下了NBA总决赛半场三分命中数纪录，并领先27分——这也是总决赛历史上第四大半场领先分差。
尼克斯在第三节凭借统治级的表现逐渐咬回比分，在进入第四节前将29分的落后差距缩小至75-90。马刺的手感则急剧降温（三分球12投仅2中），并且出现了5次失误，单节仅得14分。
这是尼克斯在今年季后赛中上演的第二次惊天大逆转；在东部决赛第一场对阵克利夫兰的比赛中，他们也曾在第四节还剩8分钟、落后22分的情况下奋起直追，最终在加时赛中击败对手。
比赛还剩30秒时，卡斯尔的两记罚球让马刺领先1分。随后布伦森中距离跳投不中，达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 抢下长篮板，本有机会通过上篮让球队领先3分或更多，但他的上篮被（还能是谁？）阿努诺比无情封盖。马刺随后犯规，送给尼克斯最后一次进攻机会，而阿努诺比在这回合中仿佛披上了红色斗篷，一步便跃过了一座高楼（文班？）。
事实上，阿努诺比正是这回合中给布伦森传球的人。当他溜过文班亚马并跃过哈珀完成这次补篮时，竟然没有任何人对他进行卡位。
一位纽约传奇就此诞生。以下是本场第四场比赛的几大看点：
对于马刺而言，一切分崩离析
仅仅用了一分钟，场上的局势就彻底倒向了文班亚马。唐斯迅速领到两次犯规，被迫下场，换上了米切尔·罗宾逊 (Mitchell Robinson)，这给了文班亚马急需的突破口。文班亚马不断在内线单打罗宾逊，并喷起垃圾话，声称自己已经击溃了罗宾逊的心理防线。这一冲突在罗宾逊用肩膀撞击文班亚马下巴时达到高潮，而这位马刺球星则躺在地上咧嘴大笑，一边鼓掌一边似乎在说：“我住进你脑子里了，小子！”
罗宾逊随后被换下场，文班亚马则尽显统治力。
但随后，随着马刺进攻在下半场崩溃，一切都分崩离析了。半场结束时，马刺看起来已经找到了扳平系列赛所需的沉稳，但他们最终却送出了总决赛历史上最大的一次逆转。他们完全抛弃了自己的进攻原则，并被冰冷的手感彻底埋葬。
随着马刺后卫群无法再轻松杀入禁区，文班亚马只能不断在外线尝试跳投。无论他们如何努力，都无法持续限制住布伦森。而在比赛还剩不到10秒时，福克斯究竟为什么要选择强行上篮，而不是把时间消耗殆尽？
这是一次灾难性的失败，让马刺陷入了可能无法自拔的绝境。—— 马刺随队记者 杰拉德·魏斯 (Jared Weiss)
纽约的历史性胜利
终场哨声响起数分钟后，麦迪逊广场花园似乎没有一个人离场。两万名尼克斯球迷深知他们刚刚见证了什么。这是该队至少53年（即上一次夺冠）以来最伟大的胜利。毫无疑问，这也是最富有戏剧性的一场：在落后29分、且眼睁睁看着马刺投出超过60%命中率的绝境下，他们完成了起死回生。
本来任何人面对这种情况都毫无胜算。但这就是尼克斯的作风。在东部决赛第一场落后骑士22分时，他们是这么做的。在总决赛前两场落后两位数时，他们也是这么做的。这支球队总能以某种方式创造不可能，创造奇迹。
第四场比赛以半个多世纪以来最伟大的方式收尾，这再合适不过了——因为这也是这段时间里最伟大的尼克斯队。—— NBA记者 弗雷德·卡茨 (Fred Katz)
队史最伟大的尼克斯球员？
杰伦·布伦森距离成为（可以说）尼克斯队史最伟大的球员——或者至少是最重要的球员——仅差一场胜利。
纽约尼克斯成为了NBA总决赛历史上第一支在半场落后22分及以上却最终逆转取胜的球队，这在很大程度上要归功于布伦森和阿努诺比的发挥。
布伦森在第四节砍下了他35分中的9分，包括在阿努诺比封盖福克斯并完成补篮绝杀之前，投进的几次关键跳投。
在布伦森的带领下，尼克斯从一支沦为笑柄的球队一跃成为联盟顶尖豪强。这位最佳阵容级别的后卫每年都带领纽约向巅峰更近一步，而现在，这支球队距离独占鳌头仅差一场胜利。
第四场比赛是布伦森在本届总决赛中表现最好的一场。他全场25投12中，送出7次助攻，且仅有3次失误。在前三场比赛中，布伦森只有一次命中率超过40%。他在关键时刻的投篮和决策是纽约艰难取胜的关键。
如果尼克斯能在周六于圣安东尼奥结束这轮系列赛，考虑到纽约自53年前夺得最后一冠以来所经历的一切，布伦森或许真的会成为队史最伟大的尼克斯球员。—— 尼克斯随队记者 詹姆斯·L·爱德华兹三世 (James L. Edwards III)
不可思议的逆转
在NBA比赛中，球迷是不会冲进球场的。这种事根本不会发生。
但当尼克斯完成了他们那令人难以置信、不可思议且绝对疯狂的逆转，随着马刺的最后一攻无功而返，全场陷入狂欢时，这一幕确实发生了。尼克斯传奇球星约翰·斯塔克斯 (John Starks) 激动得不能自已。泰勒·斯威夫特 (Taylor Swift) 和她身穿蓝色衣服的朋友们在狂喜中翩翩起舞。本·斯蒂勒 (Ben Stiller) 一边拥抱特雷西·摩根 (Tracy Morgan)，一边用手机记录着他的反应。拉里·戴维 (Larry David) 看起来也相当开心。而这还仅仅是到场的名人。对于那些等待了这么久只为再夺一冠的尼克斯球迷来说，他们在半场时对主队失望透顶，球馆里甚至能听到嘘声，但现在，这是他们见过的最令人难忘的胜利，也是最令人难忘的画面。
与此同时，马刺球员不得不匆忙离场，以免被卷入这场疯狂的庆祝中。文班亚马似乎毫发无损地穿过了球员通道——但这仅仅是指身体上。这场失利对他和马刺在情感上造成的打击，简直无法估量。—— 资深NBA记者 萨姆·阿米克 (Sam Amick)
阿努诺比关键发挥锁定惊天逆转
你该如何去形容NBA总决赛历史上最不可思议的逆转……尤其是当它可能还只是尼克斯今年季后赛中第二令人难以置信的逆转时？
让我们从这里说起：必须要给迈克·布朗 (Mike Brown) 记上一功，他用阿尔瓦拉多换下了表现挣扎的米卡尔·布里奇斯 (Mikal Bridges)，这增加了一个控球点，分担了布伦森的压力。同时也要赞扬他让阿努诺比去对位防守福克斯的调整，这让马刺在第四节的进攻陷入停滞——尤其是当马刺从未做出调整去避开这一对位时。
然而，如果阿努诺比没有在最后10秒内完成两次绝对不可思议的防守和进攻，这一切都将毫无意义。他先是封盖了福克斯的快攻上篮，随后又在空中高高跃起，完成了一记令人难以置信、注定成为经典的补篮，拿下了制胜分。
马刺将在很长一段时间内反思那些让他们痛失29分领先优势的失误，包括在卡斯尔没有看球时将球传出界外，以及福克斯选择强行上篮而不是等待尼克斯犯规的决定。但在过去的两个系列赛中，我们已经多次看过尼克斯上演这样的剧本了。这就是为什么他们现在距离NBA总冠军仅差一场胜利。—— 资深NBA记者 约翰·霍林格 (John Hollinger)

Knicks stage historic Game 4 comeback against Spurs, one win away from title
NEW YORK — OG Anunoby soared from — where? Maybe the Empire State Building? — for the greatest putback in New York Knicks’ history, finishing off the biggest in-game comeback in NBA Finals history and moving the Knicks to within one win of their first title since 1973.
Trailing by 29 early in the second half, New York clawed its way back to win Game 4 over the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 on Anunoby’s putback of a Jalen Brunson miss with 1.2 seconds left.
Brunson, who scored 36 and otherwise was the co-author of the comeback, had a 3-pointer clang off the front of the rim, but Anunoby soared over everyone to guide the miss and tip it in.
The Spurs had one more chance, but Stephon Castle fumbled the inbounds pass and pandemonium at Madison Square Garden followed. The Knicks lead the series 3-1 and became the first home team to get a win in the 2026 finals.
The Knicks can close out the finals and claim the franchise’s third title with a win Saturday in San Antonio. Game 5 is at 8:30 p.m. at the Frost Bank Center.
Anunoby contributed 33 points on seven 3s. Karl-Anthony Towns fought through foul trouble all night to contribute 13 points and 10 boards. Brunson, meanwhile, added seven assists for the game and scored nine points in the fourth quarter, which began with the Knicks trailing by 15. Reserve guard Jose Alvarado played a huge role in the comeback, scoring eight points off the bench in the fourth quarter.
Given the stakes, this stands as the most stunning defeat of rising French superstar Victor Wembanyama’s young career. He led the Spurs with 24 points and 13 rebounds and rookie Dylan Harper was excellent with 21 points off the San Antonio bench. But this loss is going to stay with them and their teammates for months, if not longer.
San Antonio led by as many as 21 in the first quarter and was ahead 41-22 after one, the largest lead by a road team at the end of the first quarter of an NBA Finals game in league history. By halftime the Spurs had connected on an NBA Finals record 14 3-pointers for a half in 26 tries and led by 27 — the fourth-largest halftime lead in finals history.
The Knicks edged their way back into the game with a dominant third quarter, trimming a 29-point deficit to 90-75 entering the fourth quarter. San Antonio cooled off considerably (2 of 12 on 3s) and committed five turnovers in scoring just 14 points.
This was the Knicks’ second amazing comeback of the playoffs; they also rallied from 22 down with eight minutes remaining in Game 1 of the conference finals to beat Cleveland in overtime.
With 30 seconds left, Castle’s two free throws put the Spurs up by a point. Brunson missed a short jumper and De’Aaron Fox grabbed a long rebound with a chance to put his team up by three or more, but his lay-up was blocked by (who else?) Anunoby. The Spurs fouled and set up the Knicks’ final possession, one in which Anunoby put on a red cape and leaped a tall building (Wemby?) in a single bound.
Actually, Anunoby was the passer on the play to Brunson. No one boxed him out as he slipped past Wembanyama and jumped over Harper to finish the play.
A New York legend was born. Here are our takeaways from Game 4:
For the Spurs, it all falls apart
It only took one minute for the floor to tilt heavily in Victor Wembanyama’s favor. Karl-Anthony Towns quickly picked up two fouls, bringing in Mitchell Robinson and giving Wembanyama the big break he needed. Wembanyama kept digging into Robinson deeper and deeper, talking trash and saying that he was getting in Robinson’s head. It culminated with Robinson hitting Wembanyama with a shoulder to the jaw and the Spurs star smiling ear-to-ear on the floor, clapping and appearing to say, “I’m in your head, boy!”
Robinson checked out of the game and Wembanyama asserted his dominance.
But then everything fell apart as the Spurs offense imploded in the second half. Heading into halftime, it looked like the Spurs had found a newfound level of poise to even the series, but they ended up surrendering the greatest comeback ever. It was a complete abandonment of their offensive principles, buried by ice-cold shooting.
Wembanyama kept settling for jumpers as the Spurs guards could no longer find easy ways to get into the paint. They couldn’t consistently stop Brunson, no matter how hard they tried. Why on earth would De’Aaron Fox take the layup instead of running the clock down with under 10 seconds remaining?
This was a colossal failure that puts the Spurs in a deficit they probably can’t climb out of. — Jared Weiss, Spurs writer
Historic win for New York
Minutes after the final buzzer sounded, it did not seem like a soul had exited Madison Square Garden. The 20,000 Knicks fans understood what they just witnessed. This was the greatest win for the franchise in at least 53 years, the last time they won a title. Without a doubt, it was also the most dramatic: Down 29 points, lifeless as the Spurs hit more than 60 percent of their shots.
No one should have stood a chance. But this is what the Knicks do. It’s what they did when they were down 22 points to the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. It’s what they did when they trailed by double-digits in the first two games of the finals. This team, somehow, pulls off the impossible, the miraculous.
It’s only fitting that Game 4 would end in the greatest way the franchise has experienced in more than half a century — because this is the greatest Knicks team during that timespan. — Fred Katz, NBA writer
Greatest Knick of all time?
Jalen Brunson is one more win away from becoming, arguably, the greatest Knick of all-time — or, at the very least, the most important.
New York became the first team in NBA Finals history to win a game after trailing by 22-plus-points at halftime, and it was largely because of the play of Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby.
Brunson scored nine of his 35 points in the fourth quarter, including some huge jump shots before Anunoby’s block on Fox and tip-in layup sealed the deal for New York.
The Knicks went from a laughingstock franchise to one of the league’s elite under Brunson’s watch. The All-NBA guard has inched New York closer and closer to the mountaintop each year, and now the team is one win away from standing there all alone.
Game 4 was Brunson’s best of these finals. He finished the game shooting 12 of 25 with seven assists and just three turnovers. Brunson had only shot over 40 percent once in the first three games. His clutch shotmaking and decision-making were key to New York pulling out the win.
If the Knicks end this series Saturday in San Antonio, given all that New York has been through since winning its last title 53 years ago, Brunson may be the greatest Knick of all time. — James L. Edwards III, Knicks writer
An improbable comeback
People don’t storm the court at NBA games. It just doesn’t happen.
But when the Knicks finished their incredible, improbable and absolutely insane comeback, with the Spurs’ final attempt falling flat and the bedlam beginning, that’s precisely what happened. Knicks legend John Starks was losing his mind. Taylor Swift and her blue-shirted friends were dancing with sheer bliss. Ben Stiller was filming Tracy Morgan’s reaction while hugging him at the same time. Larry David looked pretty happy, too. And that was just the celebrities. For the Knicks fans who have waited all this time for another title, and who were so down on the home team at halftime that you could actually hear boos in the building, this was as memorable a win — and a scene — as they’ve ever seen.
The Spurs, meanwhile, had to rush off the court so as to avoid getting caught up in all the craziness. Wembanyama appeared to make it through the tunnel unscathed — if only physically. The emotional toll of this loss on him and the Spurs can simply not be calculated. — Sam Amick, senior NBA writer
Anunoby makes pivotal plays to seal stunning win
How do you describe the most unreal comeback in NBA Finals history … when it’s still possibly on the second-most unbelievable comeback in this Knicks postseason?
Let’s start here: Give credit to Mike Brown for inserting Alvarado for a struggling Mikal Bridges, adding another ballhandler to relieve some of the stress from Brunson. And give him credit for switching Anunoby onto Fox, gumming up San Antonio’s offense in the fourth quarter — especially when the Spurs never adjusted by going away from the matchup.
None of that matters, however, if Anunoby doesn’t make two absolutely incredible plays in the final 10 seconds, first by blocking a De’Aaron Fox breakaway layup attempt, and then by reaching into the rafters for an unbelievable, instantly iconic tip-in to provide the winning points.
San Antonio will ruminate for a long time on the mistakes that cost it a 29-point lead, including a pass out of bounds when Stephon Castle wasn’t looking for the ball and Fox’s decision to shoot the layup rather than wait for the Knicks to foul him. But we’ve seen this movie many times from the Knicks over the last two rounds. That’s why they’re now one win from the NBA championship. — John Hollinger, senior NBA writer
