Summary

  • $14,654 is now the cheapest ticket for Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, nearly doubling from $7,232 before the Knicks' 105-104 Game 2 win over the Spurs.
  • Game 3 prices jumped as well, with the get-in cost rising to $11,736 from $7,142 as New York moved within two wins of its first NBA title since 1973.
  • $104,435 lower-bowl seats for Game 3 and $109,106 floor seats for Game 4 show how sharply demand has climbed, with Game 4 now a possible championship clincher.
  • San Antonio games remain far cheaper by comparison: a potential Game 5 starts at $1,918 and a Game 7 at $3,400, while a possible Game 6 back at MSG already costs $10,741 to enter.
