New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Monday that Bryant Park will host a free watch party for up to 5,000 fans during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, offering Knicks supporters a new gathering place after security concerns tied to President Donald Trump's attendance forced the cancellation of the originally planned event outside Madison Square Garden.
"The Knicks are home, and our city is ready to show out," Mamdani wrote on social media. "We're hosting a free watch party for 5,000 New Yorkers tonight in Bryant Park."
