A roaring sea of orange and blue crashed across the Big Apple Saturday night, as thousands of Knicks fans went wild watching their beloved team snap a 53-year losing streak and finally take home the NBA championship as New York completed another double-digit fourth quarter comeback powered by Jalen Brunson.
Fans at watch party outside Madison Square Garden roared as the Knicks won its first championship in 53 years.
“Sometimes you get speechless just talking about it. You get the chills and tears come in your eyes,” said Queens native Vick Artis, 31, who attended a watch party outside the Mecca.
“The Knicks put the nail in the coffin. After the comeback in game four they showed no matter what the Spurs do, the Knicks will always fight harder,” 19-year-old Theo Chun of Park Slope who also attended the 33rd Street watch party, told The Post. Knicks faithful flooded W4th and W10th Street in the West Village, watching the game projected onto the side of a building.
The Knicks secured their first championship in 53 years capping off an historic playoff run that saw them rack up a 13-game winning streak including two sweeps against the 76ers and the Cavaliers and a 4-1 gentleman’s sweep of the Spurs. Once again, the Knickerbockers came back from a double-digit fourth quarter deficit — down 10 points at the start of the quarter and as much as 16 points in the first half before walking down the Spurs to a 4 point win.
The comeback was driven by the heroics of star guard Jalen Brunson who finished with 45 points including clutch bucket after clutch bucket down the stretch — setting a record for most points ever by a Knick in a Finals game. During the stretch, the Knicks set records for both the biggest win in franchise history, beating the Hawks by 51 points, and setting the NBA record for biggest comeback in an NBA Final game — miraculously coming back from a 29-point deficit in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden to win by 107-106.
