Sorry, Spurs. This series is over.

The Spurs may not want to hear it. Their fans definitely won’t want to hear it.

But after Wednesday night, I think we know where this is headed. The Knicks are winning the NBA championship.

Technically, yes, the series isn’t over. New York still needs one more victory. The Spurs still have a chance. History says anything is possible.

Reality says otherwise.

What we witnessed in Game 4 of the Finals wasn’t just another loss by San Antonio. It was a lesson in the difference between a team that is learning how to win and a team that already knows how.

The Spurs jumped all over the Knicks. Again.

They looked faster, younger and more athletic. Again.

They built a double-digit lead (this time by 29 points). Again.

And then the game got difficult. Again.

That’s when experience matters. That’s when scars matter. That’s when a team either tightens its grip or starts looking at the clock.

The Knicks have spent years getting punched in the mouth. They’ve spent years hearing they weren’t good enough. They’ve spent years falling short.

Now they’re playing like a team that understands every possession matters.

The Spurs are not there yet.

Victor Wembanyama is a superstar. De’Aaron Fox is a terrific player. Stephon Castle looks like he’s going to be special. The future in San Antonio remains incredibly bright.

But youth has a price. And in this series, the Spurs keep paying it.

The box score will show that New York erased a 29-point deficit, the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. That’s remarkable.

What stands out more to me is how it happened. The Spurs stopped attacking. The Knicks didn’t.

The Spurs started missing shots. The Knicks started getting stops.

The Spurs looked rattled. The Knicks looked comfortable.

That’s not talent. That’s maturity.

Jalen Brunson continues to look like the best player on the floor whenever the game reaches winning time. OG Anunoby delivered the tip-in that will be replayed forever in New York if the Knicks finish this thing off. Karl-Anthony Towns battled. Josh Hart battled. Everybody battled.

The Knicks simply refused to believe they were beaten.

Meanwhile, San Antonio looked like a team that thought the game was already over sometime around halftime. That’s a dangerous lesson to learn in June.

The Spurs will undoubtedly come out swinging in Game 5. They have too much pride not to. Wembanyama isn’t going away. Neither is that crowd in San Antonio.

But championship teams don’t blow 29-point leads on the biggest stage in basketball.

Young teams do. And that’s what the Spurs still are.

Their time is coming. I genuinely believe that.

This just isn’t it. The Knicks have paid their dues. They’ve survived too much. They’ve come back too many times. They’ve shown too much toughness.

A team that comes back from 29 down in the NBA Finals isn’t just better that night.

More often than not, it’s just better.
