Fans celebrate Knicks’ win, largest comeback in NBA Finals history

When OG Anunoby tipped in the game-winning basket for the New York Knicks during Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the whole city erupted in stunned jubilation. The Knicks made a record-breaking comeback from 29 points down, beating the Spurs 107-106, and moved closer to what would be their first title since 1973. No team had come from more than 24 points down in a finals game, when the Boston Celtics did it against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2008. On Wednesday night in New York, a boombox boomed. Joints were lit and passed, their scent filling the streets. Officers stood along the fences, eyes scanning for trouble. “There are some people who do too much,” 22-year-old David Angelou said, “but at the end of the day, we’re just a happy city with some happy people.”
