No watch parties outside Madison Square Garden for Game 3. The Knicks' return home will instead come with a major security operation tied to President Donald Trump's expected attendance, CBS News reported.
Officials are planning a hard closure around MSG on Monday. Vehicle access and pedestrian travel through the secured area will be blocked, while the Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors near the arena are expected to close. Penn Station will remain open.
Entry is limited to ticketed fans, with Secret Service-level screening and a ban on bags of any size. Checkpoints are expected to open at 6:30 p.m., two hours before the scheduled tipoff.
Thousands of Knicks fans attended watch parties around the Garden during the opening two games. New York leads San Antonio 2-0 as the NBA Finals shift to MSG.
