(Al Bello/Getty Images)Al Bello via Getty ImagesNew York Knicks fans didn't want to leave Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, and it's easy to understand why.Their team had just completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.The Knicks rallied out of a 29-point hole and stunned the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday in Manhattan. OG Anunoby came flying through the lane and completed a tip-in save to put the Knicks up in the final seconds of that contest, which eventually pushed them to the 107-106 win.Naturally, fans at Madison Square Garden absolutely erupted after Anunoby's shot.And they did again after the final stop officially gave the Knicks the win.Fans viewing the game at watch parties around the city followed suit.And then, remarkably, very few fans actually left for the exits. So many stuck around inside Madison Square Garden just to take in the moment with everybody else.The Knicks are looking for what would be their first NBA championship since 1973. They reached the Finals for just the first time since 1999 this summer, too. That's led to ridiculously-high ticket prices at Madison Square Garden, though prices for Game 4 plummeted roughly $10,000 after their loss to the Spurs in Game 3. That still put the get-in price for Wednesday's contest at more than $3,300.Plenty of celebrities were sitting courtside on Wednesday to watch the Knicks' comeback, too. The regular faces were all there including Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Larry David and Timothe Chalamet, who was so excited on the court after the game.Others like Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Fallon and Adam Sandler were in attendance, too. Taylor Swift even made it to Madison Square Garden, and was seen wearing custom Knicks shirts with members from HAIM and Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay.That was, of course, a huge difference from how all the celebrities looked earlier in the night when the Knicks were down big.Game 5 of the series is set for Saturday night in San Antonio. While the group of celebrities wont be on hand in similar fashion on the road, Knicks fans absolutely got their NBA Finals moment on Wednesday.
