The New York Knicks have brought the NBA Finals back to Madison Square Garden for the first time in 27 years and lead the best-of-seven series 2–0 after a 105–104 Game 2. Secondary-market ticket prices spiked into the thousands and the expected presidential attendance led to heightened security and the city’s cancellation of an outdoor watch party, while on-court drama included a shove between Mitchell Robinson and Victor Wembanyama that led to a rescinded technical foul. Off-court storylines range from celebrity-seat auctions to promotional stunts tied to the Knicks’ run.
