The New York Knicks won the 2026 NBA championship in June, and it was a huge moment for every fan of the franchise. The triumph ended a 53-year championship drought for the franchise. Now, OG Anunoby has opened up about the moment that made it all possible.
OG Anunoby’s Recent Comment Regarding the Finals Game 4 Moment
In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Anunoby was asked about the Knicks’ remarkable Game 4 comeback in the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. However, the Knicks star already has his focus on the future.
“It comes up quite a bit so I see it quite a bit… No. I’m over it now,” Anunoby said about the Game 4 win.
In Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals, the Knicks erased a 29-point deficit against the Spurs. It was the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. Moreover, with 1.2 seconds left, Anunoby sealed a 107-106 win.
Anunoby inbounded the ball to Jalen Brunson, who launched a long three that missed. He then crashed the glass unguarded, soared past Victor Wembanyama, and out-jumped the defenders around him to softly tip the rebound in.
The 6-foot-7 forward had also come up with a chase-down block on De’Aaron Fox earlier in that final stretch and finished with 33 points, which included seven three-pointers. His performance helped put the Knicks up 3-1 in the series.
During the interview, Anunoby also touched on just how wild that playoff run was.
“We went on a crazy run. I don’t know how many games we won in a row (13), but every game was focused on the next, trying to build and be better than we were the last game. Even in the Finals, it was just day by day, game by game,” Anunoby added.
The Knicks entered the 2026 playoffs with a 53-29 record. After falling behind 1-2 against the Atlanta Hawks in the first round, they turned things around and went on a 13-game winning streak.

They swept the Philadelphia 76ers and then the Cleveland Cavaliers, and also followed that up by taking the first two games of the Finals against the Spurs. That streak stands as the second-longest single-postseason run in NBA history, behind only the 2017 Golden State Warriors’ 15 straight wins.
Across the five Finals games against the Spurs, the 29-year-old averaged 21.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. The next question is whether he can carry that same level of play into next season.
