The New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on May 23, 2026, despite an on-court moment in which NFL star Travis Kelce attempted to fire up the home crowd by downing a beer in full view of the arena.
Kelce’s stunt, captured on the arena’s video screens, drew a roar from fans but did little to change the momentum. The Knicks held their advantage the rest of the way, leaving the Kansas City Chiefs tight end visibly disappointed as the final buzzer sounded.
The victory dealt another blow to the Cavaliers’ postseason hopes, while New York moved one step closer to advancing. Kelce, a longtime supporter of Cleveland sports teams, left the floor as the Knicks celebrated their win.
