In a Game 4 that no one—not even the most optimistic Knicks faithful—could have scripted, New York pulled off a historic 29-point rally against the San Antonio Spurs, and according to sources close to City Hall, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was reportedly in a state of pure, unfiltered euphoria.
Immediately after the final buzzer, the mayor took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a single, explosive word: “SPEECHLESS. LFGK.” Insiders say that for a politician known for his polished public demeanor, this raw, fan-like reaction was allegedly a rare glimpse into his true identity as a diehard Knicks supporter.
Mamdani, who reportedly refuses VIP treatment and prefers to buy his own tickets alongside regular fans, was spotted at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. But sources claim he was not physically present at the arena for Game 4 on Wednesday, June 10. However, that didn’t stop him from stepping in after Knicks owner James Dolan allegedly canceled the official watch party—reportedly helping thousands of New Yorkers gather at alternative venues to catch the action live.
What happened on the court, insiders say, could go down as one of the most improbable wins in Finals history. The Knicks trailed by as many as 29 points before mounting a furious comeback that culminated in a one-point victory. The hero of the hour? OG Anunoby.
According to league sources, Anunoby was instrumental in the final seconds. After Jalen Brunson missed a deep three-pointer, Anunoby snatched the offensive rebound and calmly put it back in the basket to give the Knicks a one-point lead. The Spurs’ final possession was smothered, and the Knicks walked away with a series-altering win.
Anunoby finished the night with 33 points on a blistering 66% shooting from the field, including 7-of-9 from beyond the arc. Brunson, meanwhile, led all scorers with 36 points on 12-of-25 shooting, adding seven assists and three steals. The duo, according to team insiders, has developed an almost telepathic chemistry that allegedly has the Spurs coaching staff scrambling for answers.
Now, the Knicks are one win away from clinching the championship. Game 5 is set for Saturday, June 13, in San Antonio—but buzz around the league suggests the Knicks may not need a return trip to New York. They already took the first two games on the Spurs’ home court, and sources say the team’s confidence is at an all-time high. Could this be the start of a new dynasty? Or is San Antonio ready to strike back? One thing is certain: the mayor won’t be the only New Yorker holding his breath.
