@IanBegley Lol this definitely didn’t come from the PR team.

Statement from MSG Sports: “We have been told that the NYPD will once again implement the same 'frozen zone' restrictions for Game 4, which were supposedly to thwart any threats related to the President's attendance…The actions of the Mayor and Police Commissioner, supposedly in support of the Knicks and their fans, are difficult to understand.” Full statement below. Police previously said prior to Game 3 that the area around MSG was shut down due to President’s visit. This action would seem to contradict that statement. It would also impact the small businesses around the Garden. Here’s the full statement:

@NYCMayor Refs also refused to apply the bench clearing rules when Hart tried to start beef out of thin air. We’ll call it a draw. 🤝

Knicks fans screaming about the league not retroactively upgrading Victor Wembanyama’s foul should actually be counting their blessings tonight.

Why? Because while they were focused on Wemby, I'm told the NBA league office was reviewing this entire bench clearing sequence and specifically the actions of Jose Alvarado who previously served a major three-game suspension for having been involved in a nearly identical bench-clearing incident in 2024 against the Miami Heat.

When the scuffle kicks off under the basket, several Knicks players leave the bench area in violation of the rules and Alvarado gets right in the middle of the scrum.

He is seen pushing, heavily engaged with both Luke Kornet and De'Aaron Fox, waving his finger and escalating the tension getting face to face with Fox.

Under the NBA’s strict bench-clearing rules, he is undeniably not acting as a "peacekeeper."

The Knicks players left the bench before San Antonio called timeout.

If the league had decided to apply the letter of the black and white law regarding bench conduct and physical escalation, as they have multiple times this season, New York could easily be down a crucial backcourt piece or 4 for Game 4.

Take the Wembanyama non-upgrade as a wash and be thankful, because the Knicks dodged a massive suspension bullet here. 🧵

@JeffGSpursZone The odds follow where the money is going. This just means a lot of people are betting on it happening.

Sharing this A+ analysis on the Luka trade by the always insightful @chris_kratovil

Makes a ton of sense to me from the #txlege angle - esp considering Lite Patrick likely done next Session.

While an exciting trade, the Kings are getting an awesome person in Tre Jones.

Class act guy that's gonna be missed. Thank you Tre! #PorVida
