The Knicks last lost on April 23rd, and after a 10-game winning streak leading into Game 4, the NYPD prepared for potential disorder. Permits were denied following six arrests in one night, and surveillance and vigilance were increased around the Radio Music Hall area. A FOX 5 NY sports reporter shared a video showing a large NYPD presence outside Madison Square Garden near Chase Bank signage and the illuminated MSG entrance. The watch party was sold out at about 6,000 fans, with police planning to disperse attendees throughout the area. Recent incidents included jersey burning, a fan climbing a billboard, and scuffles outside MSG, alongside additional disorderly conduct arrests.
