Midtown Manhattan all orange and blue
As the Knicks hit the final shots to clinch their 105-95 Game 1 victory, the crowd at the Madison Square Garden outdoor watch party erupted and the Empire State Building lit up with orange and blue.
Fans outside chanted, “Go New York, Go!” and “Knicks in Four!”
A large crowd from the indoor watch party emptied out of the Garden with NYPD officers standing by. The rowdy but orderly crowd dispersed while celebrating the victory by jumping and cheering outside the Garden.
