A lively crowd of Knicks fans greeted the San Antonio Spurs outside their hotel in New York City on Sunday, jeering at the team and its star player Victor Wembanyama ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The Knicks, who have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, are aiming for their first championship since 1973. Fans erupted in boos as the Spurs exited their hotel, with one fan humorously telling Wembanyama to 'get ready to go golfing.' This enthusiasm reflects the Knicks' first Finals appearance since 1999, with fans celebrating in large numbers outside Madison Square Garden. However, the atmosphere will be somewhat subdued due to heightened security measures for President Donald Trump's attendance at the game. The Secret Service and NYPD have restricted outdoor watch parties in the immediate vicinity of the arena, although they anticipate resuming them for Game 4. The upcoming game will be notable as it marks the first NBA Finals matchup at Madison Square Garden since June 21, 1999, when the Knicks played against the Spurs.
