Knicks look to finish off Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals Saturday | Live Updates

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The New York Knicks are on the brink of history heading into Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.

In fact, it took a bit of magic and history for the Knicks to get to this point -- up 3-1 in the series -- with a shot to win their first title since 1973 with one more victory.

New York staged the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history in Game 4 Wednesday night, battling from a 29-point deficit, capped off by OG Anunoby's dramatic tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining in the game, to seal the Knicks' victory.

Before Wednesday, no team had come from more than 24 points down in a finals game, when Boston did it against the Lakers in 2008, since the NBA began keeping detailed play-by-play for all four quarters in 1997. The Spurs led 81-52 in the third quarter.

New York's come-from-behind win is a microcosm for what has seemingly been in this squad's DNA all season: the penchant for pulling off the impossible.

The Knicks will now look to finish off their incredible playoff run on Saturday night on the road.

Game 5 is Saturday in San Antonio with tip off at 8:30 p.m. on ABC 7, your home for the NBA Finals. Pre-game coverage begins at 7:30 p.m.
