Knicks Backed for Game 3 as $1,900 Finals Tickets Set Madison Square Garden Record Pace

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 7

Summary

  • Game 3 at Madison Square Garden is tracking to become the priciest sporting event on record, with the Knicks hosting their first NBA Finals home game this century three wins from a title.
  • New York enters with a 2-0 series lead after escaping Game 2 despite foul trouble, reinforcing the analyst’s view that bookmakers are undervaluing the Knicks again.
  • San Antonio’s late collapse in Game 2 drives that call: the Spurs blew a big lead, turned the ball over in the final seconds and settled for a 20-foot Victor Wembanyama jumper.
  • Madison Square Garden’s expected atmosphere — with celebrity courtside seats and President Donald Trump attending — is seen as another edge against a young Spurs team that has already played 18 postseason games.
