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总决赛历史上最大的一场单场逆转画上了句号，并让纽约尼克斯距离自1973年以来的首个总冠军仅差一场胜利。
在下半场初段一度落后多达29分的情况下，纽约一路苦追，在比赛还剩1.2秒时，凭借阿努诺比补中杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 投失的球，以107-106逆转击败圣安东尼奥马刺，赢下了第四场比赛。
砍下36分并一手导演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，将球补进。
马刺还有最后一次机会，但斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 接边线球时出现失误，麦迪逊广场花园随即陷入狂欢。尼克斯目前在系列赛中以3-1领先，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。第五场比赛将于美东时间晚上8:30在冰霜银行中心球馆开打。
阿努诺比凭借7记三分球贡献了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。布伦森本场送出7次助攻，并在第四节砍下9分（第四节开始时尼克斯还落后15分）。替补后卫豪塞·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，新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 表现出色，替补出场为马刺贡献21分。然而，这场失利将让他们痛心很久。
圣安东尼奥在首节一度领先多达21分，并在首节结束时以41-22领先，这是NBA总决赛历史上客队在首节结束时的最大领先优势。半场结束时，马刺在三分线外26投14中，创下了NBA总决赛半场三分球命中数纪录，并领先27分——这也是总决赛历史上第四大半场领先优势。
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。圣安东尼奥的手感急剧降温（三分球12投仅2中），并出现了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骑士的比赛中，他们也曾在第四节还剩8分钟时落后22分，但最终通过加时赛逆转取胜。
比赛还剩30秒时，卡斯尔的两记罚球让马刺领先1分。布伦森中距离跳投不中，达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 抢下长篮板，本有机会帮助球队将领先优势扩大到3分或以上，但他的上篮被（还能是谁？）阿努诺比封盖。马刺犯规，送给尼克斯最后一攻的机会，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，阿努诺比是那一回合中给布伦森传球的人。在布伦森出手后，没有人卡位防守阿努诺比，他顺势溜过文班亚马，完成了致命一击。
一位纽约传奇就此诞生。以下是第四场比赛的几大看点：
对于马刺而言，一切分崩离析
仅仅过了一分钟，场上的天平就彻底向文班亚马倾斜。唐斯迅速领到两次犯规，被迫换上米切尔·罗宾逊 (Mitchell Robinson)，这给文班亚马带来了急需的突破口。
文班亚马不断在内线单打罗宾逊，并喷垃圾话，声称自己已经搞崩了罗宾逊的心态。冲突在罗宾逊用肩膀撞击文班亚马下巴时达到顶峰，而这位马刺球星倒在地上咧嘴大笑，一边鼓掌一边似乎在说：“小子，你心态崩了！”
罗宾逊被换下场，文班亚马确立了他的统治地位。
然而，随着下半场进攻端的崩溃，一切都化为泡影。半场结束时，马刺看起来似乎重新找回了沉着，有望扳平系列赛，但他们最终却送出了总决赛历史上最大的逆转。这完全是对他们进攻原则的背弃，马刺最终被冰冷的手感所埋葬。
随着马刺的后卫们无法再轻松突入禁区，文班亚马只能不断选择在外线跳投。无论他们如何努力，都无法持续限制布伦森。为什么达龙·福克斯在比赛仅剩10秒左右时，会选择尝试上篮而不是消耗时间？
这是一次惨痛的失败，让马刺陷入了可能无法自拔的绝境。—— 杰拉德·魏斯 (Jared Weiss)，马刺随队记者
纽约的历史性胜利
终场哨响几分钟后，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（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：一度落后29分，在马刺命中率超过60%时显得毫无生机。
本来他们毫无机会。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。这支球队不知怎的，总能把不可能变为可能，创造奇迹。
第四场比赛以半个多世纪以来最伟大的方式结束，这再合适不过了——因为这是这段时期内最伟大的尼克斯队。—— 弗雷德·卡茨 (Fred Katz)，NBA撰稿人
队史最伟大的尼克斯球员？
杰伦·布伦森距离成为（可以说）队史最伟大的尼克斯球员——或者至少是最重要的球员——仅差一场胜利。
纽约成为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表现。
布伦森在第四节砍下了他36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，尼克斯从一支笑柄球队一跃成为联盟顶尖强队。这位入选最佳阵容的后卫每个赛季都让纽约离巅峰更近一步，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次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，他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。
如果尼克斯周六在圣安东尼奥终结这个系列赛，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。—— 詹姆斯·L·爱德华兹三世 (James L. Edwards III)，尼克斯随队记者
不可思议的逆转
在NBA比赛中，人们通常不会冲入球场。然而，当尼克斯完成他们那令人难以置信、不可思议且绝对惊艳的逆转，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) 兴奋得不能自已。泰勒·斯威夫特 (Taylor Swift) 和她身穿蓝色衣服的朋友们在狂喜中起舞。本·斯蒂勒 (Ben Stiller) 一边拥抱特雷西·摩根 (Tracy Morgan)，一边拍下他的反应。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次夺冠的尼克斯球迷来说，半场结束时他们还对主队极度失望，甚至能听到嘘声，而现在，这是他们见过的最令人难忘的胜利和场景。
与此同时，马刺球员不得不匆忙离场，以免卷入这场疯狂的混乱中。文班亚马似乎毫发无损地穿过了球员通道——但也仅仅是身体上。这场失利对他和马刺造成的心理打击是无法估量的。—— 萨姆·阿米克 (Sam Amick)，资深NBA撰稿人
阿努诺比关键发挥锁定惊天逆转
你该如何描述这场NBA总决赛历史上最不可思议的逆转……尤其是当它可能仅仅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：必须要赞扬迈克·布朗 (Mike Brown) 用阿尔瓦拉多换下挣扎的米卡尔·布里奇斯 (Mikal Bridges)，增加了一个持球点来减轻布伦森的压力。还要赞扬他让阿努诺比去对位防守福克斯，从而在第四节锁死了圣安东尼奥的进攻——尤其是当马刺从未做出调整来避开这一对位时。
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，这一切都无济于事。他先是封盖了福克斯的快攻上篮尝试，随后又高高跃起，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。
圣安东尼奥将会在很长一段时间里反思那些导致他们痛失29分领先优势的失误，包括在斯蒂芬·卡斯尔没有看球时将球传出界外，以及福克斯选择上篮而不是等待尼克斯对他犯规的决定。
然而，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。这就是为什么他们现在距离NBA总冠军仅差一场胜利。—— 约翰·霍林格 (John Hollinger)，资深NBA撰稿人

Knicks stage historic Game 4 comeback against Spurs, 1 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 New York 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 now lead the series 3-1, becoming the first home team to 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. ET at Frost Bank Center.
Anunoby contributed 33 points on the strength of seven 3s. Karl-Anthony Towns fought through foul trouble all night to contribute 13 points and 10 boards. Brunson 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 is the most stunning defeat of the young career of rising French superstar Victor Wembanyama. He led the Spurs with 24 points and 13 rebounds, and rookie Dylan Harper was excellent with 21 points off the San Antonio bench. However, this loss will sting for a long time.
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 8 minutes remaining in Game 1 of the conference finals to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 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 3 or more, but his layup 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 Anunoby out as he slipped past Wembanyama and finished the play.
A New York legend was born. Here are our takeaways from Game 4:
For the Spurs, it all falls apart
It took only 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 deeper and deeper into Robinson, talking trash and saying 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.
However, then everything fell apart as the offense imploded in the second half. Entering halftime, it looked as if the Spurs had a newfound poise to even the series, but they ultimately surrendered the greatest comeback ever. It was a complete abandonment of their offensive principles, as the Spurs were 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 did De’Aaron Fox attempt a layup instead of running down the clock with barely 10 seconds remaining?
This is 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, it did not seem as if a soul had exited Madison Square Garden. The 20,000 Knicks fans understood what they had just witnessed. This was the greatest win for the franchise in at least 53 years, the last time it 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 ended in the greatest way the franchise has experienced in more than half a century — because this is the greatest Knicks team during that span. — 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 Brunson and Anunoby.
Brunson scored nine of his 36 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 season, 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. He had shot over 40 percent only 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 might 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. However, when the Knicks finished their incredible, improbable and absolutely amazing 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 as he hugged him. 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 boos could be heard, this was as memorable a win — and a scene — as they’ve ever seen.
Meanwhile, the Spurs had to rush off the court 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 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 only 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 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.
However, 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
