In an instant classic at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks pulled off one of the greatest NBA Finals comebacks ever. Now, they take a 3-1 lead entering Game 5 in San Antonio.
The Knicks’ 29-point comeback was led by OG Anunoby, who scored 33 points with 7-for-9 three-point shooting and lockdown defense on De’Aaron Fox. Jalen Brunson dropped 36 points of his own with 7 assists.
With Game 5 on the horizon, the Knicks will look to better diversify their scoring threats. Brunson and Anunoby’s performances in Game 4 make them prime targets for double teaming, especially in the paint. Karl-Anthony Towns was the only other Knick in double figures in Game 4.
For the Spurs to stage their own comeback, they’ll need to find better ways of getting into the paint. Head coach Mitch Johnson emphasized postgame that the team got on their heels too much after halftime, leading to the low second-half score of just 30 points.
