Knicks' historic Game 4 comeback: The numbers and social media reaction - ESPN

The Knicks are one win away from the NBA championship following the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.

New York stormed back against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night, taking a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals following a 107-106 victory.

San Antonio led by as many as 29 points, including 15 points entering the fourth quarter. Prior to Wednesday, there had been one comeback of at least 15 points entering the fourth quarter in Finals history. In Game 6 of the 1992 Finals, the Chicago Bulls overcame a 79-64 deficit, according to ESPN Research.

The 29-point comeback by the Knicks is the largest in the NBA Finals since at least 1971 as well as the third 20-point comeback in this time, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Here are key numbers and reactions from around the sports world to New York's improbable victory.

76: San Antonio was firing on all cylinders in the first half, putting up 76 points. It marked the most points the Spurs — or any team — had scored on the road in the first half of an NBA Finals game.

It was also the most points the Knicks had ever allowed in the first half of a playoff game.

46: It was a game of two halves for the Spurs. After scoring 76 points in the first half, they had just 30 in the second.

Per Elias, that 46-point decrease ties the largest from a first half to a second by any team in a playoff game in the shot clock era (since 1954-55).

Spurs legend and four-time NBA champion Manu Ginobili didn't hide his pain following the Game 4 defeat.
