New York ¨C Road closures, bag bans and a gauntlet of security measures will greet fans at Madison Square Garden on Monday, as U.S. President Donald Trump descends on the heart of Manhattan to watch the New York Knicks play the San Antonio Spurs at home in Game 3 ?of the NBA Finals.
The Knicks have defied the odds to build a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, winning ?two games ?on the road as French superstar Victor Wembanyama has failed to meet expectations in the championship ?series for the Spurs.
With nearby MetLife Stadium set to host its first of eight World Cup matches in a week, the NBA Finals have stolen the spotlight away from the massive global tournament in New York ¡ª?for now ¡ª?with even the cheapest ?tickets available on resale platform StubHub topping $9,000 as of Saturday night.
