What happened: OG Anunoby delivered a signature moment in the NBA Finals, lifting the New York Knicks to a 107-106 victory over the San Antonio Spurs with a game-winning putback tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining. The basket capped off a 29-point rally at Madison Square Garden, marking the largest comeback in the history of the Finals.

Why it matters: The victory gives the Knicks a 3-1 series lead and moves the franchise within one win of its first championship since 1973.

By the numbers: Anunoby: 33 PTS, game-winner (1.2s left); Brunson: 36 PTS; Knicks: 29-PT comeback; Series: NYK leads 3-1.

What to watch: The Knicks look to clinch the NBA title in Game 5, which shifts to San Antonio on Saturday, June 13.
