Inside Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, a dramatic showdown unfolded, marking a pivotal moment in the NBA Finals. The New York Knicks orchestrated the largest comeback in Finals history by erasing a 29-point second-half lead, ultimately winning 107-106 and taking a 3-1 series lead.

For the San Antonio Spurs, the night represented one of the biggest choke jobs in Finals lore. They had established dominance with a 76-49 halftime lead, largely thanks to De'Aaron Fox, who initially set a Finals record with 14 first-half 3-pointers. However, Fox’s decisions in the second half became detrimental, notably his ill-fated layup attempt that led to OG Anunoby's game-winning tip-in with just 1.2 seconds left.

Key moments included:

• Fox's poor decision-making: Instead of running down the clock, he attempted a risky layup, giving the Knicks a chance to win.
• Victor Wembanyama's free throw struggles: Missing crucial free throws in the final minutes added to the Spurs' woes, as momentum swung in favor of the Knicks.

The Spurs have struggled to close out games throughout this series, having led in all four matchups with under two minutes remaining. They now find themselves in a precarious position, making history for their inability to maintain leads. In fact:

• The Spurs are the only team to blow 10-point leads in three of the first four Finals games in the last 30 years.
• They have held leads for an astonishing 133 minutes and 12 seconds, yet trail in the series.

As the Spurs reflect on their missed opportunities, the looming question remains: Can they mount a miraculous comeback, or will they rue their missed chances in this historic series?
