Like a step out of time from the momentum of the Knicks' 13-game winning streak - to Monday night's loss to the Spurs - the energy that fueled New York's victories in the first two games of this series showed proudly once again. Here's what happened ...

The New York Knicks pulled off the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history rallying from a 29-point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 by a score of 107-106. They now lead the best-of-seven NBA Finals 3-1 with a chance to clinch the title on Saturday in San Antonio in Game 5.

Not only did the Knicks come all the way back to stun the Spurs, but the way they did it - a tipped-in rebound by OG Anunoby with 1.2 seconds remaining to take the lead - was simply stunning at the end of one of the most remarkable halves of basketball in NBA history.

The Spurs dominated the first half, right from the opening tip, even before Knicks fans, including celebrities Taylor Swift, Timothe Chalamet and others had a chance to sit down in their seats.

Just over a minute into the game, Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns picked up two quick fouls, including a controversial second one that came following a review, forcing the 30-year-old to the bench.

New York never truly recovered in the opening two quarters of the game. The Spurs went on an offensive onslaught, breaking numerous NBA Finals records in the process.

San Antonio went into halftime with a 76-49 lead over the Knicks, the largest lead by a road team in Finals history, excluding the 2020 Covid-19 bubble series. The Spurs also connected on 14 three-pointers, the most made in the first half in Finals history.

But the second half was where the fun for the New York faithful started.

The previous largest comeback in Finals history came almost 20 years ago when the Boston Celtics came back from 24 points down against the Los Angeles Lakers. History was against the Knicks and it felt like the series was slipping away.

But the start of the second half gave them a small glimmer of hope after the Knicks went on a 13-0 run and eventually cut the lead to 15 points heading into the final quarter.

The Knicks continued to chip away at the Spurs’ lead little by little throughout the fourth quarter, with Madison Square Garden getting louder and louder as belief surged through the building. The lead got into single digits and then got closer until it was finally just one possession.

Knicks All-Star guard Brunson was the spark plug, giving New York their first lead of the game with just 1:22 left in the fourth quarter.

The Spurs took a 106-105 lead with just 30 seconds remaining, and the Garden was on its feet, hoping to witness history.

With just over five seconds remaining, Brunson got the inbounds pass and chucked up a long three-pointer that hit the front of the rim. Anunoby leapt above the Spurs defenders and tipped in the shot, which proved to be the game-winner with 1.2 left, sending the Garden into delirium.

The Spurs still had plenty of time to get a shot up, but Stephon Castle wasn't able to hoist it on the inbound pass, securing the historic victory for New York, who are now just a game away from their first title since 1973.

While Brunson's game-high 36 points led the way, it was Anunoby's 33 points on 7-for-9 shooting from three that really did the heavy lifting for the Knicks.

Early in Monday's Game 3, Victor Wembanyama appeared to shove Jalen Brunson, but no call was made on the court. The league retroactively reviewed the no-call but decided not to upgrade the play to a flagrant on the 22-year-old French superstar. On top of that, Knicks head coach Mike Brown was critical of the refs over the Spurs' free-throw discrepancy of 24 to New York's eight in the second half.

Fast forward to Wednesday and Wembanyama heard it from the Garden crowd before tip off and every time he touched the ball. The Frenchman was at the center of some big moments throughout the game. Mitchell Robinson elbowed Wembanyama in the first quarter, with the big man getting a flagrant.

Early in the third quarter, Wembanyama elbowed Towns in the face and was charged with a flagrant I, meaning he now has three flagrant points this postseason and is one more away from an automatic suspension. Wemby downplayed having to change the way he plays the rest of the series after the game.

Inside and out, New York City erupted into absolute pandemonium and chaotic celebration. Minutes after OG Anunoby tipped in the game-winning basket with 1.2 seconds remaining, thousands of fans flooded Seventh and Eighth Avenues. Others swarmed Manhattan streets, climbed light poles, and blocked traffic after witnessing the team pull off a historic, 29-point comeback to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Mass crowds completely blocked intersections around Madison Square Garden. City buses, garbage trucks, and taxis blared their horns to join the celebration. Fans shimmied up light poles, lit flares, and swarmed vehicles. Nearly a dozen people climbed on top of parked NYPD box trucks and cruisers in Midtown Manhattan.

Street corners from the East Village to Astoria and Harlem echoed with thunderous chants of "Knicks in Five!" and "Go New York, Go New York, Go!". The rowdy atmosphere prompted the deployment of hundreds of officers, including the NYPD's Strategic Response Group. Police used loudspeakers to disperse crowds blocking the roadways, resulting in multiple arrests.

Inside the Garden, the roaring crowd completely drowned out standard postgame television interviews. Broadcasters reported that even 10 to 15 minutes after the final buzzer, almost no one had left the arena as fans stayed to scream and dance. Arena security guards playfully directed the lingering crowd toward the exits by shouting, "Goodnight! See you at the parade!"

The star-studded "Celeb Row" courtside mirrored the frenzied energy of the streets. Taylor Swift and Mariska Hargitay jumped up and down while aggressively waving Knicks rally towels. Timothe Chalamet clapped his hands in utter disbelief and appeared to fight back tears of joy. Ben Stiller, Larry David, and Jerry Seinfeld were also spotted in a state of shock, celebrating while walking through the arena tunnels.

On social media, the sports world went into meltdown over what was widely called the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. Many fans noted that after two decades of having the worst record in the NBA and 14 head coaches, the unhinged behavior was totally justified. Fans flooded the comments sections praising Jalen Brunson for leading the second-half charge and crowning OG Anunoby a New York legend for finishing the job.

With Game 5 looming, the city is on edge and ready to explode if the Knicks can close out the series which now shifts back to San Antonio for Game 5 on Saturday at the Frost Bank Center.
