With under 30 seconds left on the clock and trailing by five points, it seemed like all hope was lost for the Knicks.

The comeback began when Jalen Brunson made a crucial corner shot despite his poor shooting performance throughout the game. This was followed by a steal by Josh Hart from Tyrese Maxey, which set the stage for the game-tying possession for New York.
As time ran out, Donte DiVincenzo stepped up to make a go-ahead three-point shot that put the Knicks ahead. The 76ers had one last chance to respond, but Joel Embiid's final shot at the buzzer missed its mark.
The Knicks' unwavering belief in their ability to win, despite being down by five points so late in the game, proved to be a pivotal factor in their comeback. This thrilling moment will go down as one of the most memorable playoff endings at Madison Square Garden and is sure to never be forgotten.
