The San Antonio Spurs secured a 112-107 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, extending their series lead to 3-1 as Victor Wembanyama continued to dominate with 28 points and 12 rebounds, according to multiple reports.
Wembanyama’s performance highlighted the Spurs’ reliance on their young superstar, but the team’s success also hinged on contributions from role players. Shooting guard Devin Vassell added 22 points off the bench, while center Doug McDermott provided critical defensive stops in the fourth quarter, according to Yahoo Sports.
“Victor’s ability to create his own shot and draw defenders opens up the floor for everyone else,” said Spurs head coach Brian Kelly. “But tonight, it was the team’s depth that made the difference.”
The Knicks, despite a strong effort from guard Jalen Brunson, who scored 25 points, struggled to contain Wembanyama’s perimeter shooting. New York’s bench unit managed just 34 points, compared to the Spurs’ 51, a disparity that proved decisive, per NBA.com.
Key moments included a 12-2 Spurs run in the third quarter, fueled by Wembanyama’s back-to-back three-pointers and a defensive block on Knicks forward Julius Randle. The Knicks responded with a 10-0 surge in the final five minutes, but a missed three-pointer by Randle with 18 seconds left sealed their fate, according to DraftKings Network.

The win puts the Spurs one game away from their first NBA title since 2014, while the Knicks face a must-win Game 5 at Madison Square Garden. Wembanyama’s performance has already drawn comparisons to early-career LeBron James, with analysts noting his ability to elevate his game in high-stakes situations, as reported by local media.
What’s Next
The series shifts to New York for Game 5 on Sunday, with the Knicks needing a victory to force a Game 6. The Spurs will look to capitalize on their home-court advantage, though coach Kelly acknowledged the challenge ahead. “We’ve prepared for every scenario, but the Knicks are a resilient team,” he said.
