NEW YORK: We’re back outside the Garden.

We have approved a ticketed MSG watch party for Game 4. More details soon.

As we prepare to watch together, let me be clear: this is a historic, joyful moment for our city. We will not allow it to be disrupted by violence.

Be safe, take care, and celebrate responsibly.

Knicks in 5.

Josh Hart on the Knicks' message in the locker room after losing Game 3:

"0-0. No matter if we won or lost, today we would've come in, watched film, got better. Do this damn circus of a media, get shots up, go to sleep. Nothing changes."

Overheard on the streets of NYC: “The problem with last night: it was supposed to be a Knicks game. But it turned into the Met Gala. All of these rich people poured in -- paying $10K to $150K a ticket. And then they sat there with their pinkies sticking out while the refs were committing FELONIES against our team! We were in foul trouble TWO MINUTES into the fourth quarter??? GET OUTTA HERE!! The refs must have been bought and paid for by the league! They want to keep the series going so they can keep making money. BUT THE FANS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TEARING THE PLACE APART WITH EVERY BAD CALL!! SCARE the refs!! Make em fear for their LIVES!! THIS IS NEW YORK FREAKING CITY GODDAMMIT !!!!”

NBA head of officiating Monty McCutchen, appearing now on ESPN, acknowledges that a foul was missed on Victor Wembanyama's first-quarter shove of Jalen Brunson and says the league's review is still ongoing regarding whether the play will be deemed a retroactive flagrant foul.

James Dolan may have invited Donald Trump, but it's New Yorkers who are paying the price.

Knicks fans have waited more than 25 years for this moment, only to find Midtown locked down and streets closed around Madison Square Garden. Local bars, restaurants, and small businesses are losing customers and closing early on one of the biggest nights of the year.

Midtown should be bustling in support of the Knicks, not held hostage to Donald Trump's egotistical whims. New Yorkers deserve better.

This young queen did not just win a contest. She told the whole world that our crowns are beautiful, powerful, and unapologetically ours. Kameirah Johnson's artwork celebrating Black hair was featured on Google's homepage, and she is taking the Doodle for Google $55,000 scholarship to her dream school, NYU. We see you, and we celebrate you. 👏🏿

Cardi B talks about the NY Knicks losing their game last night, the dark energy in the air because Donald Trump was in the building, seeing how tall Wemby is in person, secret service, hiring security after Pop Smoke’s death, her son Wave enjoying the game, and hosting a pray circle for the Knicks on Wednesday via Instagram live.😭

In case you forgot what it looks like when a real president gets the love at a game.

You know, when the crowd actually wants the president there.

The World Cup is almost here, and New York is providing the fastest, most affordable and easiest way to get to the games.

[New York Basketball @NBA_NewYork]

Jalen Brunson named to Time’s inaugural 100 Most Influential People in Sports: “Already one of the most beloved players in Knicks history…If he can…end the franchise’s 53-year title drought, every neighborhood in all 5 boroughs may throw a parade in his honor this summer”

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Tough loss, but this team has answered every test this season. I know they're ready for Game 4.

New York is behind you!
