Karl-Anthony Towns Did Something Very Sneaky Before Tipping Dylan Harper Pass on Knicks’ Game-Sealing Play

The Knicks were able to pull off an all-time epic 107-106 comeback victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals thanks to a handful of pivotal moments down the stretch. One of those moments was Karl-Anthony Towns deflecting an inbounds pass by Dylan Harper on the Spurs’ final possession of the night.

After OG Anunoby’s clutch tip-in gave the Knicks a narrow one-point lead, San Antonio had one more opportunity for a potential game-winner with 1.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Harper was in charge of inbounding the ball, but he would have to get it past Towns, the Knicks big man, in order to give his Spurs teammate a chance for a buzzer-beater.
