Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks are mad at the New York Police Department and Mayor Zohran Mamdani for not letting them throw a big enough party for Game 4 of the NBA Finals.In a statement released Tuesday, the team called NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mamdani the city’s “biggest party poopers” for putting security restrictions around the Garden for Wednesday night’s contest against the San Antonio Spurs. While the city has approved a watch party, the venue is complaining that the level of security is unnecessary.“The last several victories the Knicks have had have been celebrated by thousands and thousands outside MSG. The joy and happiness were palpable everywhere,” a statement from the venue said. “Apparently Mayor Mamdani and Police Commissioner Tisch, despite what they say, don’t want to see these celebrations happen.”There were significant security measures in place for Monday’s Game 3 because President Donald Trump attended the game. Those measures included a steel fence, limited access points and limits on what attendees could bring to the game.As an additional security measure, a watch party that had been scheduled for outside MSG was moved to Bryant Park. Even so, that event, which attracted an estimated crowd of 7,000, was pockmarked by violence and rowdiness after the Knicks’ Game 3 loss to the Spurs. More than 20 people were taken into custody, five NYPD officers were injured and video footage showed people in San Antonio Spurs attire being verbally and physically harassed.
