I’m sure President Trump as a longtime Knicks fan is excited right now.
After suffering a heartbreaking loss on their home court in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the New York Knicks came roaring back in Game 4.
For almost the entirity of the game, the Knicks were losing to the San Antonio Spurs and at one point was trailing by 29 points.
However, the Knicks never gave up!
The Knicks in the final seconds of the game were ultimately able to squeak out a win and defeated the Spurs 107-106.
Here was the game winning bucket:

ESPN reported more on the historic win:
The New York Knicks made a record comeback from 29 points down and moved to the brink of their first championship since 1973 by beating the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 on Wednesday night.
OG Anunoby tipped in the miss of Jalen Brunson’s long 3-point attempt with 1.2 seconds remaining to complete the rally, giving the Knicks a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals and three chances to win the title.
It looked impossible early, when the Spurs rolled to a 27-point halftime lead. But Brunson helped bring the Knicks back with 36 points and Anunoby finished with 33.
Game 5 is Saturday night in San Antonio.
ADVERTISEMENTNo team had come from more than 24 points down in a finals game, when Boston did it against the Lakers in 2008, since the NBA began keeping detailed play-by-play for all four quarters in 1997. The Spurs led 81-52 in the third quarter.
Here’s how Knicks fan reacted to the big win:
