The San Antonio Spurs started Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday on fire. They converted six 3-pointers on their way to 42 first-quarter points. Victor Wembanyama and Co. also set a new record.

San Antonio led 41-22 after the first 12 minutes of action. It was the largest first-quarter lead by a road team in NBA Finals history. Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell led the charge and quickly silenced the crowd.

It was the perfect start for the Spurs as they look to sweep the Knicks at home and return to Frost Bank Center with the series tied at 2-2. San Antonio pulled within one game back with a 115-11 win in Game 3.

New York struggled from the field as San Antonio’s defense forced them to take tough shots. Turnovers and Karl-Anthony Towns committing his second foul just 62 seconds into the game added to the Knicks’ woes.
