Look: Delirious Knicks Fans Halt Traffic Outside MSG After Win Over Cavs

It’s been a long time since there was this much excitement at Madison Square Garden over a basketball game. The Knicks’ big Game 4 victory over the Cavaliers on Sunday prompted a huge eruption from New York’s fanbase and the celebration didn’t stop inside the arena. 

Knicks fans spilled onto the Manhattan streets after the 102–93 win and completely shut down traffic. Chants of “Knicks in five” can be heard along with some “f--- Trae Young” chants for good measure. The Hawks point guard first elicited those chants in 2021 for his success over the Knicks, and though he had nothing to do with Sunday’s game, New Yorkers just had to get their shots in.

The video below contains graphic language:

Sunday’s win over Cleveland gave New York a 3–1 edge in the series, with a chance to advance to the second round for the first time since 2013 coming on Wednesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV.
