Somehow the Knicks came back and won ALL of these games. 🤯 https://t.co/jtpxKpXEU6

What happened: An NBA on NBC post highlighted a string of games the New York Knicks rallied to win despite trailing, marveling at how the team kept finding ways to come back. The clip-style callout frames New York's run as defined by late surges rather than wire-to-wire control.

Why it matters: Comeback wins carry outsized weight in a playoff context, where a single rally can swing a series and a season. New York's penchant for erasing deficits became a defining storyline of its postseason push and a centerpiece of the NBA's return to NBC and Peacock coverage.

What to watch: Attention turns to how the Knicks carry that resilience into the 2026-27 season and whether the comeback identity holds against tougher closing situations.
