Well, Mr.Wembanyama, the Spurs would become just the 16th team in NBA history to win a series after going down 3-1.
New York is on the brink of winning its first NBA title in 53 years, thanks to a full team effort.Game 4's hero was Knicks forward OG Anunoby, who had the moment of the game on both ends of the floor.First, Anunoby blocked Spurs PG De'Aaron Fox at the rim with 11 seconds remaining.

These teams are splitting the "four factors" in the finals, and New York is only outscoring San Antonio by two points per game.Since this could be the last game of the NBA season, I'm ramping up the gambling (responsibly, of course).
With that in mind, here are my three best bets for the Knicks-Spurs in Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals tipping off at 8:30 p.m.ET Saturday.The Spurs have held a double-digit lead in every game in the 2026 NBA Finals.
So, obviously, San Antonio could blow New York out Saturday, especially since this is a literal must-win for the Spurs.KNICKS FANS THROW OBJECTS AT VICTOR WEMBANYAMA OUTSIDE SPURS HOTEL AFTER HISTORIC GAME 4But, we all know they aren’t 2+ possessions better than the Knicks, who are white walkers and apparently can’t be killed.I.e., the "backdoor cover" is always open for NYK.
