Victor Wembanyama sat at the podium with a hood over his head. The pain was streaked on his face. He was asked to put into words what he was feeling.

It’s the kind of question that’s hard to ask athletes in moments like this.

Wembanyama had led his team to a 29-point lead over the Knicks. He was so confident after sprinting to a 21-point advantage in the first quarter that he taunted Mitchell Robinson, telling him, “I’m in your head.” The Spurs were about to tie the series at 2-2. The Larry O’Brien Trophy was within their grasp once again.

Then everything fell apart.

The Knicks refused to die. They gritted their teeth. They stormed back, completing the largest comeback in NBA Finals history with a 107-106 win.

It was wild. It was stunning. It was jaw-dropping.

After the final buzzer, the cheers in the hallway at Madison Square Garden were so loud that it was hard to hear Spurs coach Mitch Johnson address the media even though he was using a microphone. Taylor Swift, Timothee Chalamet and Ben Stiller were among the people dancing and screaming in the impromptu celebration that resembled Mardi Gras more than a workplace.

As for Wembanyama, he knew what was coming.

The criticism was going to be brutal. There was going to be an avalanche coming from TV screens, airwaves and newsstands. As the future face of the league, everything ultimately falls on him. But nothing could compare to the demons in his own head. 

This is the type of thing that can break a player.

Or it can be his villain origin story.

“What’s going through my mind right now?” Wembanyama asked. “I think it’s going to go one of two ways. One of two ways. A bad one and a good one. The bad one would be giving up. The good one would be getting stronger through this, getting more together. I know this is what we’re going to do.”

So much went wrong for the Spurs in the fourth quarter.

They were outscored 32-16. They were outshot from the field 60% to 21.1%. They were bested from beyond the arc 60% to 20%.

As the Knicks chipped away at the third-largest halftime lead in NBA Finals history (27 points), a comeback seemed impossible. Improbable. But the crowd got louder. The Knicks inched closer. And suddenly, Madison Square Garden had transformed into the embodiment of a nightmare for the Spurs.

Fingers can be pointed in a lot of directions.

How could Wembanyama have missed two free throws with 1:47 left and the Spurs up 104-103? Jalen Brunson then made a floating jumper with 1:22 remaining to give the Knicks their first lead of the game, 105-104.

Why in the world did De’Aaron Fox attempt a layup instead of dribbling out the clock with the Spurs ahead 106-105 and 13.5 seconds left?

Then came the dagger.

How in the heck did no one box out OG Anunoby following Brunson’s missed 3-point attempt?

Anunoby came flying out of nowhere to make a tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining, delivering the Spurs a blow to their jugular.

It was brutal.

How do the Spurs recover from this?

“Holding each other accountable,” said Wembanyama, who had team highs in points (24), rebounds (13) and blocks (3). “Communicating. Not pointing fingers. And after that, we either got it or we don’t. But we’ve proven that we can surpass these difficulties. Even though we haven’t been there before, I’m convinced we’re built that way and we’re going to use the better of this. It’s going to tighten us up.”

For the Spurs, there’s a lot of string to spool after the greatest unraveling in NBA Finals history. 

Remember that turnover that haunted Wembanyama in the final seconds of Game 2, when he threw the ball off Stephon Castle’s back? Child’s play. What happened in Game 4 is the type of thing that will reverberate for years.

Maybe longer.

The Spurs had outshot the Knicks at halftime 59.6% to 40.5% from the field and 53.8% to 33.3% from beyond the arc. They were soaring. The narrative was about to become, “Will the Spurs be the first team in Finals history to recover after losing their first two games at home?”

Now it’s something else altogether. 

This was embarrassing. It was shocking. It was gut-wrenching.

As nearly 20,000 people roared with joy inside Madison Square Garden at one of the most stunning games in sports history that brought the Knicks within one win of their first championship in 53 years, a shocked 7-foot-4 superstar tried to show his resolve.

But this loss was devastating. It was a collapse of epic proportions. An undoing.

It left a wound that’s not going to scar anytime soon.

“It just hurts,” Wembanyama said. 

NBA legend Charles Barkley branded the San Antonio Spurs "the dumbest basketball team in the history of civilisation" after the New York Knicks pulled off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.

The Spurs led by 29 points as they aimed to level the best-of-seven series in New York before hosting game five, but the Knicks fought back to win 107-106.

London-born OG Anunoby claimed a tip-in basket with 1.2 seconds left to clinch victory, much to the delight of a star-studded crowd at Madison Square Garden, which included Taylor Swift and Timothee Chalamet.

It gave the Knicks a 3-1 lead in the series and put them within one win of their first championship since 1973.

The previous biggest comeback in the NBA Finals was 24 points, by the Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2008.

San Antonio went 29 points up in the second quarter and their 27-point lead at half-time (76-49) was the largest for a road team in Finals history, but they then scored just 30 points in the second half.

"That was some of the most mismanaged, stupid basketball," said ESPN analyst and former NBA most valuable player Barkley.

"When you blow a 29-point lead, the other team has to help, and the San Antonio Spurs helped the New York Knicks win this game."

Victor Wembanyama scored a team-high 24 points for San Antonio and claimed 13 rebounds.

"I can't really explain it right now," said the NBA's defensive player of the year.

"I don't know. I think it's just execution, greediness of some sort. We clearly weren't the most hungry in the second half."

The Knicks still trailed 90-75 heading into the fourth quarter but Jalen Brunson put them in front for the first time at 105-104 with 82 seconds remaining.

Anunoby then made a block with 11.1 seconds left, to stop the Spurs leading 108-105, before tipping in the game-clinching score after Brunson's three-point attempt struck the rim.

"One word that caps that all is just 'belief'," Brunson told ESPN. "It was chipping away, one possession at a time. It wasn't going to be one play to get us back."

Game five is in San Antonio on Saturday (01:30 BST, Sunday).

• Wembanyama stars as Spurs trim Knicks' Finals lead

The New York Knicks won Game 4 of the NBA Finals in as thrilling a fashion as you'll ever see. But some fans celebrating the team's 29-point comeback and 3-1 series lead were not on their best behavior.

Per a video posted by NBA content creator "KingCharge" who appeared to be on the scene, the Spurs were greeted by many hostile fans as they returned to their New York hotel. The most vitriol was reserved for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama − and some fans in the crowd beyond the barricades threw unidentified items in his direction.

Wembanyama turned back to look in the direction the items came from, but he was quickly ushered inside by security.

Wembanyama has not made any friends in New York during the Finals after shoving Knicks star Jalen Brunson in Game 3 and escaping what many believe should have been a flagrant foul. Then, he taunted the Knicks in the first half of Game 4 after Knicks center Mitchell Robinson was given a fragrant foul for a forearm to Wembanyama’s chin.

Later in Wednesday's game, Wembanyama was assessed a flagrant foul for throwing an elbow at the throat of Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. The Spurs star now has three flagrant points in the NBA playoffs. If he gets a fourth, he would be suspended.

The Knicks have the chance to win their first title since 1973 in Game 5, which is Saturday in San Antonio. This series has certainly put both Wembanyama and the actions of Knicks fans in the spotlight.

This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: New York Knicks fans throw items at Victor Wembanyama, Spurs

The entire sporting world was stunned by the New York Knicks' epic comeback against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night, and the U.S. men's national team was no different.

The Knicks pulled off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history, rallying from a 29-point deficit to defeat the Spurs 107-106 in Game 4. The win gave the Knicks a 3-1 series lead, leaving them just one win from their first championship since 1973.

The game was sealed in dramatic fashion, with OG Anunoby tipping in Jalen Brunson's missed 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds to go.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Jose Alvarado were on the verge of tears. Josh Hart hadn’t felt so much on-court joy since the 2016 national championship.

One by one, professional multimillionaires uttered the word “crazy,” in love with basketball like never before.

“I don’t think any of us have ever seen anything like that,” Landry Shamet said. “It’s a lot to process.”

Madison Square Garden was dead.

The Knicks trailed 81-52 in the third quarter, en route to one of the most embarrassing and consequential losses in the history of a franchise that has patented pain, about to be two losses from all-time collapse, heading to San Antonio as the underdog again.

Slowly, the tune changed among the sellout crowd, growing louder with every basket made. Each massive eruption dwarfed the previous one, until the Garden somehow reached new heights.

When OG Anunoby’s last-second tip-in completed the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history — clinching a 107-106 win in Game 4 to put the Knicks one win from their first championship since 1973 — the Garden reached unprecedented territory.

This was Willis Reed emerging from the tunnel, colliding with Larry Johnson’s four-point play.

This was Shamet’s bounce joining forces with Patrick Ewing’s putback. From calm to chaos. From embarrassment to elation. The Amish went electric. A funeral morphed into a party.

“I felt for all of y’all who were at the game, obviously, you could feel the abundance of joy at one time from everyone at one time, the collective joy that came out of everybody for that one moment, to hear the buzzer going off and not to see the ball go in the basket, I think we all felt something, like that emotion that was special,” Towns said. “It’s something that MSG hasn’t had that kind of moment in a long time, so shoutout to our fans for real.

“I’ve seen people leave before the game was over at MSG, watching on MSG Network before. … You could see my reaction, the emotion, it kind of spilled out of that moment. It was tears of joy … All you can do is ask for a chance. And for me personally, I just wanted one break in life. And I got one.”

The tickets, which cost thousands, went from a waste to being worth every penny. Permanent hearing loss was a fair trade after more than a half-century of misery, exchanged for a moment to last a lifetime.

“On the bench when we’re slowly walking them down and you feel it shift a little bit and there’s a little bit of hope there that creeps in, it’s hard to explain, but if you were in the building, everybody felt it,” Shamet said. “This isn’t just talking about staying in the game, let’s cut the lead. It was like, ‘No, we’re here, let’s make something happen.’”

Captain Clutch refused to let the game get away. 

The Knicks were down big, nearly 30 points, but he wouldn’t let go of the proverbial rope. 

Jalen Brunson kept on making plays, kept on getting the Knicks closer, and ultimately leading them to within one win of their first championship in 53 years after this 107-106 Game 4 victory over the Spurs at the Garden on Wednesday. 

“Really wasn’t that much to be said at that point,” Brunson said when asked his mentality when the Knicks were down big. “It was really just, we need to chip away. We need to hit singles, get on base and make plays from there.” 

OG Anunoby was the hero — his tip-in of a Brunson missed 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left was the game-winner — but the Knicks aren’t in that position without Brunson.

For the first three games of the series, he was inefficient and turnover-prone.

On Wednesday, he scored 36 points, and shot 12-for-25 from the field. 

Brunson played the final 34:45, and had plenty of gas left in the tank late. He scored 17 second-half points, was pivotal in the Knicks rallying from a 29-point deficit in the second half.

He also had seven assists, five rebounds and three steals. 

“Jalen, he’s an MVP candidate,” coach Mike Brown said. “I say the same thing about Jalen every game: He does what an MVP is supposed to, and he did it again tonight.” 

Fittingly, Brunson spent most of his postgame press conference talking about his teammates. When the Knicks win, it’s always about everyone else. He also wasn’t ready to celebrate anything yet. There is still one more win to go. 

“The most important thing for me over the next 48 hours is focusing on what we have to do to win Game 5,” he said after his third 30-point performance of the finals. “There’s nothing to celebrate. It’s not over yet, not even close.”

On a night when The Garden was rocking louder than ever, the incredible commentary gave the unforgettable moment its soundtrack.

Mike Breen, who grew up in Yonkers dreaming of calling a Knicks NBA Finals game, along with the radio broadcast team of Tyler Murray and Monica McNutt, added themselves to New York sports lore by being better than anyone else at telling listeners that what they just saw really happened on OG Anunoby’s incredible crunch time plays

“[Jalen] Brunson gets it. Fires up a three,” Breen began, calling arguably the most important play in Knicks franchise history for ABC in a 107-106 nail-biting victory to go up 3-1 in the NBA Finals on Wednesday night. “Shot no good. The tip. It’s good! It’s good! It’s good! With 1.2 remaining! The Knicks take the lead! OG Anunoby! It’s 107-106. It’s bedlam here at The Garden! They can’t believe it. Brunson’s shot looked good. It just came up short.”

Meanwhile, Murray starred on the local radio broadcast, calling the Anunoby tip-in with vim and verve for an audience listening blind.

“Anunoby is handing the ball (out of bounds). Finds Brunson at midcourt,” Murray begins. “Lanches a straight-on three, missed it short. Tip by Anunoby! He put it in! Anunoby put it in! The Knicks take the lead with 1.2 to go!”

“It’s not over,” McNutt injected.

“Anunoby out of nowhere!” Murray added.

“Wow!” McNutt said. “O.G. Anunoby. He inbounded the ball. He’s loose. Nobody came to him. That’s a great call. That’s a great play call.”

Marc Kestecher had the call alongside Doris Burke and P.J. Carlesimo on ESPN’s national radio call.

“Knicks were down as many as 29,” Kestecher said. “Anunoby gets it into Brunson. Brunson pulls a quick three. Off the front rim, no. Tip in good for the lead with 1.2 seconds to go! O.G. Anunoby flying out of nowhere! And this place is rocking at the Garden.”

NBA commentator Charles Barkley did not hold back while providing his opinion on the San Antonio Spurs' collapse in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Barkley called the Spurs the "dumbest basketball team in the history of civilization" after they blew a 29-point lead on Wednesday, June 10.

The Spurs had the chance to even the series at 2-2, but the Knicks stole it late and now have a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.

"That was some of the most mismanaged, stupid basketball," Barkley said during the “Inside the NBA” postgame show. "When you blow a 29-point lead, the other team has to help you. The San Antonio Spurs helped the New York Knicks win this game by doing some of the stupid(est) stuff I've seen on a basketball court."

The Spurs found success early in the first half, setting an NBA Finals record with 14 made 3s (on 26 attempts).

“We saw the dumbest basketball team in the history of civilization. … The San Antonio Spurs helped the New York Knicks win this game.”

San Antonio did not have the same luck in the second half and struggled from long range. The team went 3-for-17 from deep in the second half.

The Spurs missed nine of those 3s in the third quarter, allowing the Knicks to take advantage of the missed opportunities and crawl back into the game.

“They played terrible basketball," Shaquille O'Neal said on the show. "They got comfortable with the lead and talking about going back to San Antonio and just didn't play smart."

The Knicks returned to the locker room at halftime trailing 76-49 before going on to outscore the Spurs 58-30 in the second half.

I don’t drink. But after what just happened, the temptation is growing.

The first half of this game was absolute joy. Fox drew a foul on KAT on the very first possession, then Big Purr drew one on Wemby right after. Mitch Johnson elected to challenge the latter call, and upon review, it was deemed that KAT hooked the Alien. This forced the Knicks to sit their All-Star centre since he already had two personal fouls, while Wemby’s slate was wiped clean. The Spurs took advantage shortly after by hitting two threes and scoring off a turnover, continuing their streak of building a 10-point lead early in each game.

With KAT on the bench, New York was forced to play Mitchell Robinson for extended minutes, helping San Antonio stay hot. The good guys started 6-8 from deep and scored 30 points in just the first eight minutes of the game, and the Knicks had to dust off fantasy specialist Ariel Hukporti to give Robinson a breather. The once raucous MSG crowd suddenly turned nervous as the Spurs built a 20-point lead, with hushed murmurs reverberating throughout the arena.

Unlike the other games (this still stands, but for all the wrong reasons), San Antonio continued throwing haymakers. After back-to-back threes from Fox, the entire team joined the party. Seven Spurs made a triple before half-time, and their 14 total set a new record for threes in a single NBA finals half. The Knicks became discombobulated on offense too, resorting to hero-ball from Brunson — one of their most inefficient scoring options in the series (at the time). As a result, the Spurs led 76-49 at the half, which is also the most points a road team has scored in the first half of any finals game in history.

Then, the entire world started to crumble.

New York went on a 13-0 run in the third to cut the lead down to 15, while San Antonio’s offense halted to a stop. The Spurs continued hunting threes and forgot about a guy who’s kind of tall, and as soon as their hot streak ended, the once massive lead began to dwindle. They were outscored 26-14 in the third alone, and worst of all, Brunson started getting hot.

Suddenly, it was as if the Knicks played the uno reverse card on the Spurs, as they began hitting all their shots: from three, from mid-range, from the Statue of Liberty, you name it. What was once a 15-point lead with eight minutes left became a two-possession game, as New York capitalized on the Spurs’ over-aggressive defense with pinpoint ball movement. San Antonio made some panicked adjustments to try and get the ball out of Brunson’s hands, but that left the Knicks’ shooters wide open, who all had auto-aim activated.

On the other end, San Antonio’s strategy was to watch one player dribble the air out of the ball while the other four prayed to some sports deity that had already abandoned them. Somehow, that actually resulted in a three from Fox and a foul line jumper from Wemby, but it wasn’t enough to stem the tide against a New York team shielded by plot armor. After Brunson splashed a 27-foot missile over Wemby (of all people), the Knicks cut the lead down to just one with 2:30 left, and the Spurs’ counter was to play one of the worst possessions you’ll ever see.

Fox tried to run a high pick-and-roll to get Wemby an open path to the rim, who set a screen that hardly grazed Anunoby. As a result, Anunoby easily went over and forced Fox to pick up his dribble and jump without a clear passing lane. Instead of just living with the double dribble, however, Fox threw the ball to the middle of the court, which was picked off by Josh Hart, who then proceeded to smoke a wide-open dunk. Then, the Knicks isoed Brunson against Castle, and Captain New York made a tough floater that bounced in, to put the home team up one.

With a minute left, the Spurs isoed Fox at the elbow, who missed the shot but resulted in free throws for Castle, who knocked both down to put San Antonio back up by one. With 20 seconds left and the ball back in the Knicks’ hands, Brunson missed a bank shot that was tipped to mid-court, and Fox got to it first. Instead of dribbling out the clock, however, he had delusions of grandeur and went up for a layup, which was blocked by Anunoby.

Still, all hope wasn’t lost, yet. New York only had 5 seconds left to put up a final shot, which ended up being a Brunson prayer from the logo over Wemby. He missed, but in the ensuing chaos, Anunoby flew in and tipped the ball over the outstretched hands of three Spurs. Of course, it somehow went in. 107-106, Knicks.

With 1.2 seconds left, San Antonio actually drew up a good inbounds play that had Castle open for a dunk, but Harper flubbed the pass, and probably the Larry O’Brien trophy, too.

Game notes

• History is now on the Spurs’ side: there have been five instances in NBA history where a team tied the finals at 2-2 after trailing 2-0, and all five of those teams went on to win the title.
• I’ve suffered through some pretty bad heartbreaks in my years as a sports fan, almost entirely at the hands of the Canucks. Most notably, the 2*11 NHL finals between them and Bruins, which might still be the most traumatic thing that I’ve ever experienced. Well, this game is now on that list, and the series isn’t even over yet.
• This game was basically the final fight in every Rocky movie. His opponent would pummel him to bits for most of the match, only for his iron chin to withstand everything and land a knockout blow at the very end. New York is Rocky, and he indeed, did not die.
• I hated the process of this game and said that before the comeback even materialized. It took until the fourth before the Spurs remembered that they have an Alien on their side, but it was too little, too late. After barely seeing the ball the entire half, Wemby had lost all his touch by then, resulting in a stretch in which he shot 1-11 from the third to the middle of the fourth.
• Wemby now has 3 flagrant points in the playoffs following an inadvertent elbow against KAT in the third quarter. I thought it was a borderline call, but considering he got away scotch free with the Brunson shove in game 3, he definitely deserves another flagrant in the aggregate. The bigger story, though, is that accumulating 4 flagrants results in an automatic suspension. I’m confident that won’t happen, but it shouldn’t have gotten to this stage, either. Wemby needs to keep a cooler head, and he’s got no one to blame but himself for ending up in this position.
• Live by the three, die by the three. The Spurs experienced both sides of that in game 4, making 14 threes in the first half and just three in the second. San Antonio wanted to see if they could keep up the momentum and settled for too many jumpers when their rhythm was gone, and it resulted in the largest single-game collapse/comeback in NBA Finals history. The commitment to threes would even make Joey Mazz proud.
• It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again: this series will be determined by turnovers. It’s not a coincidence that the Spurs only had two turnovers in the first half and had nine in the second. New York actually finished with 13, but almost none came during their comeback. San Antonio had more turnovers than made buckets in the third quarter alone.
• Castle was pretty brutal for most of the game, but he deserves credit for hitting those clutch free throws at the end and going 8/8 from the line. Remember, he iced game 3 from the line too, and I was ready to personally deliver him the finals MVP if Anunoby’s fingers were an inch shorter. Those free throws will be lost in the craziness, but the streets won’t forget.
• What won’t get lost is 2023 Clutch Player of the Year De’Aaron Fox. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with him since before he was traded to the Spurs, and have given him flowers for playing through his ankle injury. However, I only just learned that an ankle could impede one’s processing, too. Why didn’t he just dribble out the clock with 15 seconds left??? He doesn’t have his usual burst and knew that Anunoby was coming, and still decided to go for the layup. Mind-boggling.
• I’m not a spiritual person. I don’t believe in any deities, or even ghosts. But what this Knicks team has become over the past two months is something beyond my simple comprehension. Maybe Timothy Chalamet and Anne Hathaway sprinkled magical powder on MSG in the middle of round one so they could be cast in Spike Lee’s new movie: The Miracle in the Garden. Speaking of which, it’s time to boycott The Odyssey and Dune.
• Conduct a wellness check on your fellow Spurs brethren. And for the love of the basketball gods, do NOT answer any calls/texts from friends who troll. This is the start of our healing journey. We will get through it together.

Play of the game

Dylan Harper is the only thing keeping me going.

Next game: in San Antonio on Saturday for Game 5

Well, Game 5 will be back in San Antonio on Saturday at 3:30pm Central Time. The sun will still rise tomorrow, I guess.

It’s been exactly one month since the Utah Jazz won the NBA lottery, and each day the pressure mounts as we get closer to draft day. In some drafts, the #1 pick is a foregone conclusion, like with Cooper Flagg and Victor Wembanyama. The thing that makes this draft so unique, and a great one to be #2, is that the top three players all have a case to be the #1 pick. You could even argue Caleb Wilson and not get laughed at. With the luxury of of having so much top-tier talent at the top also comes the anxiety to make sure that you aren’t the team that ends up picking the worst of the three.

AJ Dybantsa is favored at FanDuel to go #1 at -475, which is up from yesterday at -450. That seems to be the consensus more and more around the league. For Utah, that leaves them with the decision between Cam Boozer and Darryn Peterson. That choice is one of the biggest choices the Jazz will ever make. Do they go with the guard that had one of the weirdest seasons in recent memory in Darryn Peterson? The creatine story is a hard one to believe. But if he’s healthy and looks like he did in his high school tape, he could be an all-time scorer in the league with defensive chops as well. Or do they go with the hyper-efficient big who sits at the top of every raw and advanced stat? But who isn’t a good rim protector and seems to get a large portion of his points in the post, a place that he probably won’t use as much in the league.

That is the question the Jazz have to answer. Chances are that both players will be great, and you can’t go wrong. But even that brings pressure because when you’re drafting in the top 3 in a draft like this, you don’t just want the All-Star, you want the All-NBA player.

For Jazz fans, it’s easy to say who you would pick, but when the pressure is on come draft night, and they have to submit their pick, that choice gets really hard, and that pressure might be daunting. All we can hope is that the Jazz have done their homework and will make the best possible choice.

Actor Timothée Chalamet declared “Knicks in 5” after his hometown team pulled off a historic comeback to beat the Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.

“Come on, it’s the Knicks, baby!” Chalamet yelled while on the court at Madison Square Garden, as seen in a video online after the Knicks took a 3-1 series lead.

He held up five fingers before bringing his hands to a prayer gesture.

He turned around and continued celebrating as his girlfriend Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods, fiancée of Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, were talking nearby.

Chalamet wasn’t feeling as joyous before his on-court celebration when the Knicks were down by as many as 29 in the third quarter.

The Knicks rallied back in the second half and sealed the win when forward OG Anunoby’s tipped in a rebound of a long 3-pointer by star guard Jalen Brunson with 1.2 seconds remaining to give the Knicks the lead.

Game 5 is Saturday night in San Antonio, with the Knicks a win away from their first NBA championship in 53 years.
