Summary
Zohran Mamdani told New Yorkers to "be responsible" ahead of Saturday’s NBA Finals Game 5, as the city backs public watch parties at Plaza 33, Radio City Music Hall and Wollman Rink.
The warning followed fan incidents after the Knicks’ playoff wins, including harassment of Spurs supporters, eggs thrown toward Victor Wembanyama and disorderly conduct near Madison Square Garden.
17 people were arrested after the Knicks’ 105-104 Game 2 win, and one person was accused of punching and injuring a police officer after entering a restricted area and refusing to leave.
Mamdani also said more than 100 LinkNYC kiosks will stream the game, turning sidewalks into watch parties as New York tries to manage celebrations with the Knicks leading the Spurs 3-1.
