The New York Knicks’ fan base had a reason to feel good after the team secured a 2-0 lead in the 2026 NBA Finals on Friday, June 5.

The Knicks managed to fend off the Spurs’ late rally in the fourth quarter to secure a 105-104 victory. Karl-Anthony Towns led the way for New York with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges each scored 20 points.

Fans were offered the chance to attend watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden and at SummerStage in Central Park in New York on Friday night.

Here’s how the celebration unfolded after Game 2 was decided after Victor Wembanyama missed a potential game-winner for the Spurs.
