The San Antonio Spurs took off Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.

The Spurs, led by a dominant first half from Victor Wembanyama, took a 76-49 lead over the New York Knicks at the midway point of Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The 27-point advantage in the opening half marked the largest road halftime lead in NBA Finals history, excluding the COVID-19 bubble season in 2020, and the third-largest of all time. 

Yet somehow, that wasn’t enough to put the Knicks away. The Knicks rallied all the way back from a 29-point hole to secure a wild 107-106 win over the Spurs. It marked the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, and gave them a 3-1 lead in the series while lighting up Madison Square Garden.

While it didn’t end up mattering down the stretch, the Spurs’ first half surge was all possible thanks to a ridiculous shooting run. San Antonio went 14-of-26 from the 3-point line in the first 24 minutes. That marked the most made 3-pointers in a half in NBA Finals history. 

Devin Vassell led the way from behind the arc in the first half. He went 4-of-4 from the 3-point line and entered halftime with 15 points. Wembanyama, despite a team-high 16 points and six rebounds, only went 1-of-5 from the 3-point line. He had 13 of his 16 points in the first quarter, too. 

But despite his struggles from deep, the Spurs still rolled to the huge lead without much issue. And, by comparison, the Knicks' shooting was not great. They went just 4-of-12 from the 3-point line in the first half. OG Anunoby accounted for half of their made 3-pointers. In total, the Knicks only made 15 field goals, one more than the Spurs made just from deep. 

In the end, though, it was Anunoby who secured the win for the Knicks. He dropped 33 points, and had a wild tip-in in the final seconds to push the Knicks to the one-point win.

The Spurs made just three more shots from behind the arc in the second half. The Knicks, led by 36 points from Jalen Brunson, ended up shooting 15-of-32 from the 3-point line.

The Knicks will now enter Game 5 on Saturday night with a 3-1 lead in the series. They’re just a win away from securing what would be their first championship since 1973.
