Along the outskirts of Amagansett Square’s watch party, Matias Mesa, 11, of East Hampton flexed his Jalen Brunson jersey.
Mesa noted that his favorite thing at school to see is all of his classmates wearing their Knicks jerseys — especially those who sport his favorite player, Brunson.
While Brunson has eight points, the Knicks find themselves trailing in the first half for the fifth consecutive game. However, if Brunson can lead another comeback, Mesa will see his favorite NBA team win a championship for the first time in his life.
“A lot,” Mesa said of how much a Knicks title would mean to him, “I would be really excited.”
