Summary
Game 4 on Wednesday is expected to proceed without President Donald Trump, with ESPN reporting he will miss the NBA Finals matchup because of scheduling conflicts and obligations.
Game 3 at Madison Square Garden drew heightened screenings, earlier team logistics and street closures across several Manhattan blocks after Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game.
De'Aaron Fox said the added security felt like TSA screening and disrupted players' routines, underscoring how Trump's visit became a bigger talking point than the game itself.
San Antonio's 115-111 Game 3 win cut New York's series lead to 2-1, leaving the Knicks a chance in Game 4 to move within one victory of the title.
