The Knicks are two wins away from their first NBA championship in more than 50 years, and Brooklyn is planning accordingly.
With games three and four set for Madison Square Garden, thousands of fans without tickets will be looking for the next best thing: packed Knicks watch parties full of orange-and-blue faithful. Across the borough, bars, markets and event spaces are rolling out screenings, specials and Finals-themed events as New York’s basketball scene reaches its peak.
Here are some of the best places in Brooklyn to watch Games 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals.
Time Out Market New York, DUMBO

Admission is free, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.
