New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that a ticketed watch party will take place outside Madison Square Garden for Game 4 of the NBA Finals. This follows the previous cancellation due to President Trump's attendance, which caused significant disruptions. With Trump reportedly not attending Game 4, the city has approved the event at Plaza 33, allowing fans to gather safely. Additional watch parties will also occur at locations like Wollman Rink in Central Park and the Brooklyn Bowl. The Knicks currently lead the series against the Spurs 2-1 after a loss in Game 3.
