Knicks fans are incredibly passionate, and they’re starved for postseason success. Now that the team has made the Eastern Conference Semifinals for a second-straight year, Knicks fans are making sure they’re enjoying their playoff success.
On Monday, the Knicks won a thrilling back-and-forth game 1 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Indiana Pacers. And, Knicks fans made sure to party hard, invading 7th Avenue just outside the Garden.
The Knicks trailed by as many as 9 points in the fourth quarter on Monday. But, Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo ended up carrying New York down the stretch, as they won, 121-117.
Let’s take a look at Knicks fans in midtown Manhattan.

The excitement around the Knicks playoff run is unlike anything else in the sport right now. Ticket prices are at least $350 to get into game 2, which is roughly three times the get-in price in any other playoff game right now. Yes, New York’s huge population and large amount of people with money to burn has a lot to do with that. But, it does show how excited New Yorkers are for these Knicks.
They’ll have another chance to go crazy on Wednesday, as game 2 is back at Madison Square Garden.
