The New York Knicks are close to winning their first NBA Championship in 53 years, but fan celebrations at Midtown watch parties have led to traffic blockages, police skirmishes, and arrests. The NYPD issued summonses to 34 individuals for rowdy behavior, prompting Madison Square Garden to cancel the watch party for Game 3 due to security concerns, including President Trump's attendance.
