The NYPD reversed its ban on New York Knicks watch parties for the NBA Finals, but after Game 2, it may be regretting that decision.
Fans got so rowdy during the Knicks’ Eastern Conference Finals run that the NYPD put a stop to watch parties outside Madison Square Garden. But when the Knicks clinched their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999, the department said the party was back on.
The Knicks will come home with a 2-0 series lead on Monday, but Game 2’s victory, the biggest for the Knicks in a generation, brought about unruly behavior outside the Garden.

The Spurs fought back from a 14-point deficit to take the lead in the final minute of the fourth quarter, but with the game tied at 104, Victor Wembanyama threw a pass off an unaware teammate’s back and Jalen Brunson stole the ball. Brunson was fouled and hit one of two free throws to take the lead. Wembanyama then took a potential game-winning shot but missed the mark.
Game 3 will be Monday night in New York, with President Donald Trump slated to attend.
