Knicks hosting NYC watch parties as team looks to clinch NBA championship

The celebration is back on for Knicks fans.

As the team tries to capture the NBA title in San Antonio on Saturday, the Knicks will hold three separate watch parties for supporters across New York City.

Fans can buy $10 tickets for a viewing event at Radio City Music Hall, pick up free tickets for the Plaza33 gathering outside Madison Square Garden, or head to Wollman Rink in Central Park for another free ticketed watch party.

Reservations for all three events must be secured by 10 a.m. EST on Saturday.

Knicks alumni are also expected to appear at the watch parties.

The city-approved permit for Saturday’s Plaza33 event allows for up to 3,000 attendees — roughly 2,000 more than the crowd size requested for the canceled Game 4 watch party, which was scrapped after the city declined to issue a permit.

Knicks owner James Dolan blamed Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch for failing to accommodate the masses in an interview on sports radio WFAN on Wednesday.

“They have never managed anything like this before and it’s like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches coming out the sides,” he said.

Dolan further claimed that Mayor Mamdani was “not a Knicks fan.”

MSG has complained that the limited capacity of the watch parties ices out ten of thousands of fans from celebrating the possible championship.

Previous watch parties did not require tickets or security screenings.
