Knicks fans have been waiting a long time for this one.
For the first time in 25 years, New York hosted the NBA Finals on Monday.
While prices were through the roof and things were a bit chaotic getting into Madison Square Garden, that didn’t prevent the orange and blue faithful from bringing the energy right off the bat.
Knicks fans were sure to give their heroes a warm welcome back home as they took the court just two wins away from their first championship since 1973.
Here are some of the scenes from intros and warmups at MSG…
