Who\u2019s the underdog now?<\/p>\n

The oddsmakers discounted them down before the series began, then gave the New York Knicks just a 0.4% chance of winning<\/em> when they were down 29 points in the third quarter of Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Never count New York out. <\/p>\n

Ever!<\/p>\n

OG Anunoby\u2019s high-flying game-winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds left lifted the Knicks odds of winning it all<\/em> from 38% to 82% on Polymarket\u2019s championship market.<\/p>\n

It was the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history, outdoing the 2008 Celtics rebound from a 24-point deficit against the Lakers.<\/p>\n

The Knicks got back up when they were down and clawed their way back into a dominant position in the series. <\/p>\n

And, with one more victory, into New York sports history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re up against adversity, when your shots aren\u2019t falling . . . that\u2019s when discipline matters,\u201d wrote Knicks legend and NBA champ Walt \u201cClyde\u201d Frazier in his book, \u201cThe Game Within The Game.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was the Knicks through three-plus quarters of Game 4 \u2026 before their discipline kicked in.<\/p>\n

Game hero OG Anunoby dropped 33 points on 10-for-15 shooting in 41 fearless minutes.<\/p>\n

Captain Jalen Brunson \u2014 who\u2019s making the case for Finals MVP \u2014 was a master floor general, leading the way and scoring a team-high 36.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brooklyn native Jose Alvarado, who grew up a Knicks fan, came off the bench to contribute eight points, three assists and two rebounds in the final 10 minutes of the historic comeback.<\/p>\n

Other stars \u2014 Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, Mitchell Robinson \u2014 all did their part, because this is a true team<\/em>, every part of it contributing mightily.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are on the brink of their first NBA Championship since 1973, a dream delivered as soon as Saturday night in Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
