New York Knicks<\/a> fans didn’t want to leave Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, and it’s easy to understand why.<\/p>\n

Their team had just completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.<\/p>\n

The Knicks rallied out of a 29-point hole<\/a> and stunned the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday in Manhattan. OG Anunoby<\/a> came flying through the lane and completed a tip-in to put the Knicks up in the final seconds of that contest, which eventually pushed them to a 107-106 win.<\/p>\n

Naturally, fans at Madison Square Garden absolutely erupted after Anunoby’s shot.<\/p>\n

And they did so again after the final stop gave the Knicks the win.<\/p>\n

Fans viewing the game at watch parties around the city followed suit, and celebrations quickly spilled out into the streets.<\/p>\n

And then, remarkably, very few fans actually left for the exits. So many stuck around inside Madison Square Garden just to take in the moment with everybody else.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are looking for their first NBA championship since 1973. They reached the Finals for the first time since 1999 this season. That has led to ridiculously high ticket prices at Madison Square Garden, though prices for Game 4 plummeted roughly $10,000 after their loss<\/a> to the Spurs in Game 3. That still put the get-in price for Wednesday’s contest at more than $3,300.<\/p>\n

Plenty of celebrities were sitting courtside on Wednesday to watch the Knicks’ comeback. The regular faces were all there, including Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Larry David and Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, who was so excited on the court after the game.<\/p>\n

Others such as Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Fallon and Adam Sandler were in attendance, too. Taylor Swift even made it to Madison Square Garden and was seen wearing custom Knicks shirts with members from HAIM and “Law & Order: SVU” star Mariska Hargitay.<\/p>\n

That was, of course, a huge difference from how all the celebrities looked earlier in the night when the Knicks were down big.<\/p>\n

After the game, Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst Charles Barkley went off on the Spurs in a way that only he could.<\/p>\n

“We saw the dumbest basketball team in the history of civilization. \u2026 That was some of the most mismanaged, stupid basketball,” he said. “Hey, when you blow a 29-point lead, the other team has to help you. The San Antonio Spurs helped the New York Knicks win this game by doing some of the stupid ass stuff I’ve ever seen on a basketball court.”<\/p>\n

Game 5 of the series is set for Saturday in San Antonio<\/a>. Whether or not the same group of celebrities will be on hand in similar fashion on the road, Knicks fans absolutely got their NBA Finals moment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York Knicks fans didn’t want to leave Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, and it’s easy to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":697344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,15050,5489,361,19560,6999,2116],"class_list":["post-697343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-madison-square-garden","tag-nba-finals","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-og-anunoby","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-spurs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=697343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
