SAN ANTONIO — When they completed their historic comeback from a 29-point third-quarter deficit Wednesday night, the Knicks were caught up in the midst of a wild celebration. Celebrity fans rushed onto the floor, nearly 20,000 fans remained in their seats for singalong revelry, and it understandably felt as if a championship party was underway. But when the court was cleared and the viral highlights began to fade out, the reality set in that the job wasn’t done. Although the Knicks own a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals and are on the verge of their first title in 53 years, they haven’t gotten there yet. So while outside of the team’s tightly guarded quarters, videos of OG Anunoby’s game-winning tip-in were dissected in slow motion, the Knicks began preparations in a different way. newsday.com/sports/basketb…
This version with the mic'ed up huddles is tremendous...
"Let's play basketball now. Be smart. Stick together. We've come back from worse. Chip away" –– Jalen Brunson in the huddle before the Knicks come back in Game 4

@bdistel Won't be announced until tomorrow. Only 12 are in the mix.
Pretty wild. NBA announces Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs is now the most-viral NBA game ever on social media, generating 3 billion views and counting. Additional engagement highlights for Game 4: 📷 The series has now generated 8 billion views and counting across social media, the most ever for the NBA Finals (previous record: 6.2 billion views in 2025). 📷 NBA-related topics trended No. 1 worldwide on X for eight consecutive hours 📷 Most-viewed game recap ever on the NBA’s YouTube channel
A lot of folks likely changed the channel or went to sleep -- but tuned back in when someone let them know what was happening. Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals on ABC was the most-watched NBA Finals Game 4 since 1998, averaging 20.9M viewers and peaking with 23.2M viewers at 11:15 p.m. ET. The 2026 NBA Finals are the most-watched NBA Finals through four games since 1998.
I'd like to know the ratio of Taylor Swift dancing vs. OG tip-in account for the 3 billion, but good either way.
Wembanyama on Knicks scheming to get him in actions defensively.
BTW, behind Leon here on the right of the frame, making it to MSG was Zev Rose, who we wrote about before the series ... newsday.com/sports/basketb…

@ajz510 Don't even joke about that until we see the crew announced for tomorrow night.
Interesting thing about this view - with 1.2 seconds left, if this didn't go in looks like KAT was in position to dunk it in.
@chapulana Flew in yesterday -- There is practice today and media sessions.
Hoping Tyler Adams moves better for USMNT tonight than he did in celebrating Knicks Game 4 win.
SOMEONE CHECK ON KNICKS FAN TYLER ADAMS
@SJknowsball75 Yep -- and despite having a 7-foot-4 (7-5? 7-6?) Defensive Player of the Year on him seeing the space to get a clean look off...and I'll never criticize the best player taking the last shot with a good look.
Been saying this since the days I covered Patrick Ewing -- the star makes the game easier for everyone else around with the attention he draws.
Brunson? KAT? OG?! 👀 Picking a Knicks Finals MVP was an EASY decision for the crew to make 🏆
Amazing stat -- NBA playoff teams are just 5-733 when trailing by 20+ points in the 4th quarter in the play-by-play era. Two of the wins have come by this season's Knicks. And teams trailing by 20+ in the Finals -- 45 failed. Wednesday was the first time a team ever overcame it.
