OG Anunoby credits the Knicks' resiliency in magical Game 4 comeback vs the Spurs

The New York Knicks were down by 29 points earlier in Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs. It was one of the biggest leads of the postseason against the Knicks, but that was not a problem for them in the second half.

They clawed back to cut the lead to single digits, and they kept pushing. In the dying seconds of the game, OG Anunoby became the biggest hero in New York City as he tipped the ball back in after Jalen Brunson's three-point attempt. Now, they are one win away from winning their first title in 53 years.

OG Anunoby is the perfect example of the Knicks' resiliency in Game 4

Anunoby was phenomenal all night as he and Jalen Brunson kept the Knicks afloat amid the rest of the team struggling. In his 41 minutes played, Anunoby scored 33 points on 10-of-15 from the field and 7-of-9 from three.

It was one of the steadiest performances in this year's NBA Finals. Brunson might have more points, as he scored 36, but it was Anunoby who was truly scoring the most impactful buckets.

At the same time, Anunoby was also superb on defense, as he was the player who blocked De'Aaron Fox. Anunoby hit the game-winning tip-in, so he had a complete impact for the Knicks in this comeback win.

While he is the hero of the game, the Knicks forward is still crediting his team. He admits that he did not do it by himself, as he had his Knicks teammates helping him.

"Got the ball to Jalen, he had a good look, and I just crashed and went for the ball. Just to do whatever it takes to win, I think it's crashing the glass, second-chance opportunities. I was just trying to make a play," Anunoby said after the Game 4 win at Madison Square Garden.

"We're resilient, we never give up, it's a game of runs. They went on a run early, we knew we were going on our own run, just stayed with it, and kept pushing."

Anunoby's game-winner will now be remembered as one of the biggest moments in Knicks history. Now, they are one win away from a magical championship, and Anunoby deserves all the love that he is getting.
