The noise inside Madison Square Garden exploded once the New York Knicks completed a historic 29-point comeback that left the San Antonio Spurs stunned.
The Knicks are now in a brilliant position to go on and win their first championship in more than 50 years, with Game 4 turning into one of the wildest nights the Garden has ever seen.
When the final buzzer sounded, the city erupted into life, the building shook and Ben Stiller captured it all. The Knicks superfan has spent this Finals run filming courtside clips on his phone, and his latest video felt like a sneak peek at something much bigger after a finish that will live in franchise history.

The comeback felt impossible for long stretches. San Antonio led by 29 points before New York somehow turned the night into the greatest Finals comeback in NBA history.
Stiller has been a constant courtside presence throughout the series, and the prolific director's phone footage has impressed fans. There is already a growing belief that he may help produce a Knicks Finals documentary if New York finish the job.
He posted his courtside Game 4 video on X after the win, giving fans a raw view of one of the best atmospheres in sports — the best indoor atmosphere around when MSG is fully alive.
OG Anunoby 's clutch tip-in and the official end of the game took the roof off the place. New York went manic, and the Knicks are now one win from a first championship since 1973.
The night did also spill into uglier scenes, with Victor Wembanyama targeted after the Spurs' collapse. That is not the kind of post-game scene anyone wants to see, but it underlined how emotionally charged the Garden was.
