As New York continues to rally behind the Knicks’ first NBA Finals appearance since 1999, Westchester County is giving local fans a chance to experience the excitement together. County officials announced plans to host public watch parties for Games 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals as the Knicks return home with a 2-0 series lead over the San Antonio Spurs, two games away from winning their first championship since 1973.
The Westchester County Center, home of the Westchester Knicks, will welcome basketball fans for NBA Finals watch parties on Monday, June 8, and Wednesday, June 10, as the New York Knicks continue their historic quest for a championship against the San Antonio Spurs in Games Three and Four of the series. Tickets are on sale now for $10 per person, plus Ticketmaster fees, and will also be available at the door on the night of each event based on availability.
The watch parties will include a DJ, food and drink for purchase, and the viewing of the game on a large screen in the main hall. Doors open at 7 p.m.; game begins at 8:30 p.m. Parking is $10 per car.
“Excitement across New York is at an all-time high as the New York Knicks make their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999. I’m thrilled that we can bring fans together at the Westchester County Center, home of the Westchester Knicks, to share in the excitement and cheer them on during this historic championship run. Let’s go, Knicks!” Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins shared with Black Westchester.
The watch parties are expected to bring together Knicks fans from across Westchester to cheer on Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, and the rest of the team as they pursue the franchise’s first NBA championship since 1973. With Knicks fever sweeping the region, county leaders hope the events will provide a safe, family-friendly atmosphere for fans to celebrate one of the most exciting moments in New York sports history.
“The Westchester County Center is the Mecca of all things basketball in Westchester County. By hosting these watch parties, we are adding another layer of excitement and community spirit to an already historic NBA Finals run for the New York Knicks. There is nothing quite like experiencing the energy of a big game surrounded by fellow fans,” Westchester County Parks Acting Commissioner Peter Tartaglia shared.
The Knicks have already captured Games 1 and 2 on the road and will return to Madison Square Garden looking to move one step closer to ending a 53-year championship drought.
The Westchester County Center is located at 198 Central Ave in White Plains.
Let’s Go Knicks!
