"When we do these watch parties, it means a lot to me to come and see the other guys. We definitely feel like we're still part of the game and it's also for the fans. We want to make sure they have a great experience."
"Well, to have the fans involved in all four quarters is great because we need our fans. This is New York. This is the Mecca of basketball. This is MSG, Johnson said. The fans here are awesome, and you play for the fans."
"We haven't been playing well in the first two quarters. We're down 2-1, so we really need to come out and jump on these guys, Johnson added. The first quarter was so important."
