Cara Brown, 47, of St. James, went about the platform in Ronkonkoma asking other Knicks fans if they’d like to use her remaining blue and orange hair spray. She had already painted her hair with the Knicks colors and some was left in the can.

“We’ve watched every game, and we've been to a number of games, and they've been so inspirational this season,” Brown said. “So with all the energy that we put in, we couldn't not come to the city today.”

By 5:42 a.m. the train to Penn Station was packed with Knicks fans.

Rachel Robinson, 33, of Mastic Beach, planned ahead; she ate a bagel and drank a Red Bull after the train departed.

She told Newsday she had just bought her blue Knicks shirt Wednesday around 8 p.m. for the occasion. She and her fiance, who took off from work today, planned to meet friends in Penn Station before finding a spot to watch the parade.
