NBA Finals: De'Aaron Fox Explains Layup Blunder in Spurs' Game 4 Meltdown vs. Knicks
- The New York Knicks completed the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history on Wednesday, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 and taking a 3-1 series lead in their bid for their first NBA Championship since 1973.
- San Antonio blew an 81-52 third-quarter lead after Fox attempted a layup with 10 seconds remaining instead of running the clock, allowing Anunoby to block the shot and set up his game-winning tip-in.
- On ESPN, Charles Barkley called it a "dumbass play," while Fox explained he "tried to get a layup to get up three" but Anunoby made a "good block" to stop him.
- Victor Wembanyama described the loss as a failure of execution, stating the team will either give up or "get stronger through this" following the brutal defeat.
- Facing a must-win situation, the Spurs return to Frost Bank Center on Saturday for Game 5, though only the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers have ever recovered from a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA Finals.
