The Knicks gained a huge result last night: they won Game 4 and moved to a 3-1 lead in the Finals, putting them one win away from the title. That game was also a historic comeback, with New York erasing a 29-point deficit, the largest in NBA Finals history.

What that means

  • They now control the series.
  • They are one win from clinching the championship.
  • The comeback gives them major momentum heading into the next game.

Quick context

This comes after a strong playoff run that already sent the Knicks to the Finals for the first time in 27 years. The recent surge has also been reflected in their season results, with the team sitting near the top of the East in the current season.
