Knicks getting physical early with Wemby in Game 4. https://t.co/SX40ABe18m

What happened: The New York Knicks opened Game 4 of the NBA Finals with an aggressive, physical defensive approach directed at San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama. New York looks to complete a series sweep after taking a commanding 3-0 lead following their Game 3 victory.

Why it matters: After taking a commanding 3-0 series lead, the Knicks are using their defensive depth to pressure the Spurs' primary scoring threat. This physical strategy aims to replicate the success seen in Game 3, where New York's interior defense successfully neutralized late-game runs to move within one win of the title.

By the numbers: The Knicks hold a 3-0 series lead and enter Game 4 as according to recent market movements. New York has held San Antonio under 110 points in two of the first three games of the series.

What to watch: The Knicks can clinch the 2026 NBA Championship with a victory tonight at Madison Square Garden.
