Watch Knicks fans party outside MSG after historic Game 1 win over Cavs
Knicks fans celebrated in the streets outside MSG after the Knicks defeated the Cavs in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
When the New York Knicks win at home in the playoffs, you know a Garden Party is in order. And not just inside Madison Square Garden. Knicks fans took to the streets once again Tuesday night, following the team's historic 115-104 overtime win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Jalen Brunson led a charge for the ages as the Knicks overcame a 22-point deficit with just over seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. The victory is the largest playoff comeback win in Knicks franchise history. Seventh Avenue in Manhattan usually transforms into a block party for Knicks fans following playoff victories in the World's Most Famous Arena.
And Tuesday night was no exception. Here's a look at the scene outside the Garden following Tuesday's victory: KNICKS FANS ARE POPPING BOTTLES ON 7TH AVE AFTER TONIGHT’S WIN 🍾🔥 pic. twitter.
