NYPD restricts Knicks fans outside MSG ahead of Game 4 watch party

The New York Police Department has designated a 'secure zone' that prevents Knicks fans from gathering outside Madison Square Garden ahead of Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that fewer than 1,000 fans will be allowed to attend a watch party outside the arena during the game. The decision comes after a series of celebrations by fans throughout the Knicks' playoff run, which have frequently filled the streets with supporters. The Knicks franchise owner expressed dissatisfaction with the restrictions.
