New York City erupted in celebration on the night of June 6 2026 after the Knicks captured Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Moments after the final buzzer, masses of supporters left Madison Square Garden and poured onto Seventh Avenue, chanting “Go New York!” and waving team gear.
The spontaneous street party clogged the blocks surrounding the arena as fans high-fived strangers, sang fight songs and recorded the scene on their phones. Traffic ground to a halt while the crowd reveled in the team’s latest postseason triumph.
Uniformed officers formed lines to keep intersections clear, but the gathering remained largely peaceful. Many fans lingered well past midnight, savoring the rare Finals success as the Knicks head to Game 3 with the series level at 1-1.
