NEW YORK (WABC) — Mayor Zohran Mamdani is making sure that New York City schools students can stay up late to watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

The mayor was joined by a group of students Monday morning to sign an executive order that repeals bedtime so the kids can stay up late to watch the Knicks.<\/p>\n

“Bedtime is repealed! All of you can watch the Finals,” the mayor declared.<\/p>\n

The children also ‘signed’ the order with their handprints.<\/p>\n

Game 1 of the finals is Wednesday night on ABC 7.<\/p>\n

After Mamdani signed the executive order, a group of children crowded around him at City Hall to “sign” it with their handprints.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, ahead of Game 1, Mornings @ 10 will be live from Madison Square Garden. Then at 7:30 p.m., we’ll have the Countdown to Tip-off. That’s followed by NBA Tip-off at 8:00 p.m., and then Game 1 starts at 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Plus, Ryan Field, Sam Ryan, and Anthony Johnson will all be on the road in San Antonio. You can watch their reports on Eyewitness News.<\/p>\n
