Big names line up for Knicks Game 3 at Madison Square Garden

The NBA Finals shift to New York tonight with the Knicks holding a 2-0 lead over the Spurs. Crowds at Madison Square Garden tend to draw extra attention, and this year’s guest list already reads like a who’s who of Hollywood and music royalty. Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Spike Lee and Fat Joe were all spotted in San Antonio for the first two games, so why miss the homecoming? Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Tina Fey have strong ties to New York and could easily turn up when the spotlight moves to the Garden. Even the city’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, might skip City Hall for an evening courtside.Ticket prices in New York dropped a bit after the move from Texas, but you still need deep pockets. The cheapest seats start around $5, 600, and floor spots can run well over $12, 000. For comparison, Game 4 prices already jumped past $10, 500, showing how fast demand climbs when a team wins two in a row. Meanwhile, back in San Antonio, Game 5 tickets are already available for under $2, 000—proof that home-court advantage cuts both ways.
