Bills-Oilers, 28-3: Knicks' 29-point NBA Finals comeback joins the ranks of the greatest in sports history

The New York Knicks made history Wednesday night. As did the San Antonio Spurs , in ignominious fashion.

With a chance to tie the NBA Finals at 2-2, the Spurs held a 29-point second-half lead in the third quarter and appeared well on their way tying the series up with Game 5 at home on the horizon.

But OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson led New York to a historic rally at Madison Square Garden, completing the largest comeback in NBA Finals history to secure a 107-106 win and a 3-1 series lead.

One more win for the Knicks will cement the comeback near the top of the greatest in sports history. But it stands as enough on its own to find its place in the conversation.

Let's take a look at some of the greatest comebacks in sports history. For the purposes of this list, stakes matter. A rally in Week 3 of the season doesn't warrant consideration.

Those numbers are all that U.S. sports fans need to hear to immediately recall the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.

An Atlanta Falcons franchise known, frankly, for losing, held a 28-3 second-half lead over a New England Patriots team that was at the peak of its powers. Tom Brady had already led the franchise to four Super Bowl wins and secured his place in the NFL GOAT conversation.
