A homeowner in Tenafly, New Jersey, has made the New York Knicks’ decisive Game 4 basket against the San Antonio Spurs the centerpiece of a Halloween display. The arrangement uses skeletons to recreate OG Anunoby’s tip-in during the NBA Finals series, which the Knicks went on to win.
The front-yard scene includes a 12-foot skeleton wearing a Spurs jersey representing Victor Wembanyama. In the game, Wembanyama was defending near the top of the key as Jalen Brunson took a shot. The attempt fell short, and Anunoby reached the ball for the basket that gave New York a key victory and a 3-1 lead in the series. The Knicks finished the job in Game 5 in San Antonio, according to the supplied report.
Other figures in the display recreate the action around the basket. A skeleton wearing an Anunoby jersey appears to tip in a basketball near a hoop, while another wearing a Brunson jersey is posed as if finishing a jump shot. Additional skeletons are dressed to resemble courtside attendees, including actors Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Swift, as well as filmmaker and Knicks fan Spike Lee.
The homeowner told NBC New York that the idea followed Anunoby’s Game 4 play and became a firm plan after the Knicks won the championship. The family already had a 12-foot skeleton available, the homeowner said, making it suitable for the Wembanyama figure. The homeowner described the play as an important New York sports moment.
The decoration incorporates orange and purple lighting, and a sign on the porch reads, “The tip-in that did the Spurs in.” A scoreboard is set to 106-105, the score shown in the display as San Antonio led just before Anunoby’s basket.
The display commemorates the Knicks’ title run as a new season approaches. The source report also said the team planned a championship-ring ceremony on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden, where it was scheduled to host LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers. That detail was reported in the source’s October 15, 2026, account.
