Episode 40 of In My Defense is titled "Original OG," and the New York Knicks are now one win away from ending 53 years of pain.

Canty & Que react to one of the wildest games in NBA Finals history: the Knicks erase a 29-point deficit, survive a record-setting Spurs shooting night, and stun San Antonio 107-106 behind OG Anunoby's unforgettable tip-in with 1.2 seconds left.

OG finished with 33 points, a massive chase-down block on De'Aaron Fox, and the game-winning putback. Jalen Brunson added 36, while Victor Wembanyama's 24 and 13 weren't enough as the Knicks took a 3-1 series lead.

The guys break down:

• OG Anunoby's legacy moment

• Jalen Brunson's leadership

• The Spurs' second-half collapse

• De'Aaron Fox's late-game mistakes

• Why San Antonio kept settling for threes

• What the Spurs must change in Game 5

• Where this comeback ranks in New York sports history

And we end with 99 Problems with the dumbest plays in sports history, and Wins & Losses of the Week.
