The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals on June 10 at Madison Square Garden, taking a 3-1 series lead after rallying from a 29-point deficit. OG Anunoby tipped in a Jalen Brunson miss with 1.2 seconds left for the victory. New York now sits one win from its first championship since 1973.

Brunson finished with 36 points on 12-of-25 shooting and seven assists while Anunoby added 33 points. The Knicks improved to 3-1 after dropping Game 3 115-111. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 24 points on 9-of-25 shooting in the loss.

New York's defense tightened in the second half as the Spurs managed just 30 points over the final two quarters. Brunson repeatedly attacked closeouts and created for teammates while the frontcourt switched effectively onto Wembanyama's perimeter actions. The comeback exposed San Antonio's lack of late-game execution once its early shooting cooled.

Ben Stiller, the lifelong Knicks fan filming footage courtside throughout the playoffs, voiced frustration with some supporters' behavior toward visiting fans while celebrating the team's resilience. The current roster, built through free agency and trades, has delivered New York its deepest run in decades against a Spurs team that reached the Finals after defeating the Thunder in seven games.

Game 5 tips off June 13 in San Antonio. A Knicks victory there would clinch the title at home in Game 6 on June 16 if necessary.

Stiller's documented reactions capture the same tension that defined Knicks basketball for generations, now channeled into a potential championship finish.
