San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks live updates: Score, highlights, stats, analysis from NBA Finals Game 5

How did we get here? Knicks pull off historic rally to win Game 4

With the road team having won the first three games of the 2026 NBA Finals, that streak appeared likely to extend to four on Wednesday night. The Spurs came out of the gates scalding hot, setting an NBA Finals record with 14 made three-pointers in the first half.

That hot shooting would allow San Antonio to take a 76-49 lead into the intermission, and things would only get worse for the Knicks early in the third quarter. The Spurs extended their lead to 29 on a De’Aaron Fox jumper with 9:40 remaining in the period.

However, as has been the case on multiple occasions in recent playoff runs, the Knicks refused to roll over. That Fox shot was immediately followed by a 13-0 New York run, and they would go into the final quarter trailing by 15, 90-75.

The final frame was a continuation of that run, with the Spurs settling for jumpers while the Knicks relied on ball and player movement. Jose Alvarado replacing Mikal Bridges in the closing lineup gave the Knicks an additional ball-handler, which opened things up for Jalen Brunson and the offense as a whole.

Brunson scored nine of his game-high 36 points in the fourth quarter, while OG Anunoby capped his 33-point night with an eight-point fourth. And Anunoby’s tip-in of a Brunson missed three with 1.2 seconds remaining gave the Knicks the lead. That one-point edge was preserved when Karl-Anthony Towns’ deflection of the ensuing inbounds pass led to San Antonio’s Stephon Castle not getting off a shot before time expired.

Final score: 107-106 in what is the biggest comeback in an NBA Finals game.
