Knicks fever has swept the city, and Midtown is lit up blue and orange. Are you ready to watch Game 4?
The New York Knicks’ fourth NBA Finals match-up with the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday will likely be another nail-biter. Do you really want to watch it crunched over your laptop?
There are dozens of places to watch the game with your fellow New Yorkers across the boroughs, which we rounded up below. The City Reporter included as many as we could find, but if we’re missing your favorite local spot, drop us a line at [email protected].
Registration for the official NBA watch parties for Game 4 is not yet open, but the league says to “check back soon” for details on its website. You can also download the Knicks App to get an alert when those watch parties are announced.
City officials also say a watch party will happen outside Madison Square Garden, unlike when tight security for President Donald Trump’s Game 3 attendance prevented that option Monday.
