Game Recaps
🗽 Knicks finish off the greatest comeback in NBA Finals History, beating San Antonio 107-106 in Game 4.
Enjoyers! We were treated to history Wednesday night, the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history, hand-delivered by the New York Knicks and their OG.
If you had only watched the first three quarters, you would’ve believed that the tides had shifted toward a best-of-three series heading back to San Antonio. But the Knicks had other ideas.
Similar to Games 1, 2, and 3, the Spurs jumped out to a rapid double-digit lead. KAT (13 PTS, 10 REB, 4/5 FG) was sent to the bench early with foul trouble, and in his absence, San Antonio put up a 41-point first quarter and built a lead as large as 29 with 9:40 remaining in the third. It felt like everything the Spurs tossed up was falling.
However, just as easily leads can be built, they can be torn down. The Knicks sparked a 13-0 run in the third quarter, and outscored San Antonio 32-11 in the fourth quarter, holding the Spurs to just 2 points in the final 3:30.
With just under 15 seconds left, and a Spurs win in sight, OG Anunoby chased down a questionable De’Aaron Fox layup attempt. Then, off a Jalen Brunson, miss there was only one man who could deliver the goods, and that was Mr. OG, who tipped the ball in with 1.2 seconds left to give the Knicks the late and final lead.
This was a true masterclass from OG tonight, delivering 33 points on 10/15 shooting and 7/9 from three. With his impressive defensive impact and nuclear shooting, he’s making a stronger case for MVP with each passing game. In parallel, Jalen Brunson (36 PTS, 7 AST) kept the Knicks from completely flatlining on offense and delivered some tough buckets when the Knicks needed them the most.
We need to tip the cap to some unsung heroes as well. Jose Alvarado scored all 8 of his points in the 4th quarter to help propel the comeback, and Josh Hart (6 PTS, 8 REB, 6 AST) remains the leader of this series in +/-. And of course, we see you KAT with that inbounds pass deflection on the final play of the game. 🫡
With a win of this magnitude, it may seem fair to prematurely label the Knicks the team of destiny, but if Game 4 taught us anything, it’s that we know that anything (and we mean ANYTHING) can happen.
The Spurs will look to put Wednesday behind them, especially Wemby (24 PTS, 13 REB, 3 BLK, 9/25 FG) and Fox (18 PTS, 7 AST, 6/16 FG) after going a combined 5/22 from the field in the second half. We know all too well that only one team has ever comeback from a 3-1 deficit in the Finals. Perhaps an escape from the madness of NYC for a little will serve them well.
Stay ready, Enjoyers. Game 5 will be coming to us on Saturday, and who knows if it’ll be our last this season.
🍿 Game 5 will end with the...

What’s Good in the W?
We’re just over halfway through the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup round robin games, and here’s what we should be locked in on.
Record-breaking night for Caitlin Clark & Aliyah Boston as Fever best the Sky in OT thriller 114-106.
The defending Cup champs had themselves a battle at home last night against the Chicago Sky.
We had a back-and-forth fourth quarter that ended with Skylar Diggins-Smith drilling a three to send the game to OT.
From there Caitlin Clark (32 PTS, 7 REB, 10 AST) and Aliyah Boston (34 PTS, 12 REB) took over and sealed the deal for Indiana in extra time. CC and Aliyah became the first pair of teammates in WNBA history to post 30-point double doubles on the same night.
We also caught a Sydney Taylor legacy performance off the bench last night putting up 30 points in 20 minutes!
The Fever hope to keep the pressure on for the remainder of the Cup as they attempt to catch up to the undefeated New York Liberty.
🐺 vs ♠️ Battle of the 4-0 squads tomorrow!
We’re in store for a heater on Saturday, with the undefeated Minnesota Lynx going up against the undefeated Vegas Aces. The winner will be the West’s likely rep for the Commissioner’s Cup final.
The Lynx are sitting at the top of the WNBA, and this has been entirely without back-to-back MVP runner-up, Napheesa Collier, still recovering from ankle surgery. The Lynx have been a true power of friendship team, being led by rookie sensation Olivia Miles, steady vet Natasha Howard, and ½ of the StudBudz, Courtney Williams.
The Aces are spearheaded by A’ja Wilson, coming off of her 40th 30-point game in her career, and Chelsea Gray, who just tied a WNBA-record for 9 threes in a game.
The game starts just a half-hour before Game 5 on Saturday so it may be the perfect appetizer, and will definitely be on the second screen!

This Day in NBA History (1991)
⌛️ Michael Jordan and the Bulls lift their 1st Larry O'Brien trophy after beating the Lakers 108-101 in Game 5 of the 1991 NBA Finals.
June 12, 1991 - A new era began.
One year earlier, the Bulls’ season ended in heartbreak at the hands of the Detroit Pistons in the infamous Migraine Game. This time around, Michael Jordan broke through against the 2x defending champion Pistons and set up a Finals clash with one of his idols, Magic Johnson and the LA Lakers.
After a Game 1 slip-up, the Bulls flipped the series on its head and entered Game 5 up 3-1 with the Lakers on the ropes. Magic still did everything he could, putting up 16 PTS, 11 REB, and 20 AST, but LA was running on fumes, with fellow leading scorers James Worthy and Byron Scott both out with injury.
The game was tied heading into the fourth, but Jordan (30 PTS, 10 AST, 5 STL) tapped into his playmaker side and found success through the team's role players. In particular, John Paxson, who scored 10 of his 20 PTS in the final stretch, helping the Bulls close out the Lakers.
At 28 years old, this was the moment Michael Jordan finally got the monkey off his back; his first championship, and his first Finals MVP, averaging 31.2 PTS, 6.6 REB, and 11.4 AST.
This game marked an important inflection point in NBA history. The Bulls would go on to run the league throughout the 1990s, while the Lakers would not return to the Finals until Shaq and Kobe’s three-peat at the start of the 2000s. This also marked Magic’s final full NBA season before announcing his HIV diagnosis later that year.
Days like this remind us what a gem The Last Dance really was. Catch more about this series in Episode 4 if you’re interested!
