Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex speak with Dr. Deborah Stroman.

Dr. Stroman discusses the NBA Finals, Victor Wembanyama and more.

The New York Knicks pulled off the largest comeback in NBA Finals history in Game 4, rallying from a 29-point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 and take a commanding 3-1 series lead. The Spurs appeared in complete control for much of the game, but New York stormed back in the second half behind Jalen Brunson, who finished with 36 points and 7 assists. OG Anunoby was equally crucial, scoring 33 points, knocking down key shots, and ultimately delivering the game's defining moment when he tipped in a missed Brunson attempt with about a second remaining to give the Knicks the lead. Victor Wembanyama starred for San Antonio with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks, but the Spurs struggled offensively after building their huge lead and were unable to stop New York's surge. The victory leaves the Knicks just one win away from their first NBA championship since 1973. Was this the greatest comeback or the greatest collapse?
