麦迪逊广场花园和纽约尼克斯队对纽约市警察局（NYPD）以及市长佐兰·马姆达尼 (Zohran Mamdani) 感到十分愤怒，因为后者不允许他们在NBA总决赛第四场举办更大规模的庆祝活动。
在周二发布的一份声明中，球队称纽约市警局局长杰西卡·蒂施 (Jessica Tisch) 和马姆达尼是这座城市“最大的扫兴者”，因为他们对周三晚上对阵圣安东尼奥马刺队的比赛在花园球馆周围实施了安保限制。尽管市政府已经批准了户外观赛派对，但场馆方抱怨称，这种级别的安保措施完全没有必要。
“尼克斯队最近几次获胜时，成千上万的球迷都在麦迪逊广场花园外庆祝。那种喜悦和幸福感无处不在，”场馆方在声明中表示，“显然，市长马姆达尼和警察局长蒂施不管嘴上怎么说，实际上并不希望看到这些庆祝活动发生。”
由于总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 出席了周一的第三场比赛，当时采取了严密的安保措施。这些措施包括设置钢制围栏、限制出入口以及限制观众携带物品入场。
作为附加的安保措施，原定在麦迪逊广场花园外举行的观赛派对被移至布莱恩特公园。即便如此，在尼克斯队第三场输给马刺队后，这场吸引了约7000人参加的活动依然充斥着暴力和骚乱。超过20人被拘留，5名纽约市警局警员受伤，视频画面还显示身穿圣安东尼奥马刺队球衣的人遭到了言语和肢体上的骚扰。
警方方向《竞技者》(The Athletic)证实，尼克斯队已经向市政府申请并获得了在花园球馆外举办第四场观赛派对的许可。纽约市警局发言人表示，尼克斯队申请的许可人数为500至1000人，他们获得了上限批准。届时将有1000名持票球迷可以参加。
“对于第四场比赛，我们预计麦迪逊广场花园外的观赛派对将会恢复，”蒂施在周一的新闻发布会上表示，“这些观赛派对将通过围栏分区和安检进行管理，出于安全考虑，我们预计会设置相同的安全警戒线。在接下来的几天里，我们将对这些计划有更多的说明。”
市长办公室和纽约市警局表示，入场者需要凭票入场，且不允许二次入场。麦迪逊广场花园周边也将受到限制，观赛派对设有一个入口，而持有比赛门票的球迷则有另外四个入口。
纽约：我们回到了花园球馆外。
我们已经批准了第四场比赛在麦迪逊广场花园举办凭票入场的观赛派对。更多细节稍后公布。
在我们准备共同观赛之际，让我明确一点：这对我们的城市来说是一个历史性的、令人喜悦的时刻。我们绝不允许它被暴力破坏。
注意安全……
—— 市长佐兰·夸梅·马姆达尼 (Zohran Kwame Mamdani) (@ NYCMayor) 2026年6月9日
“纽约人对尼克斯队的热情是可以理解的，绝大多数球迷昨晚都以安全且有趣的方式观看了比赛，”市政府发言人萨姆·拉斯金 (Sam Raskin) 表示，“但在城市各处发生的打架和其他扰乱秩序的事件——包括袭击警员——是不可接受的，也是绝不容忍的。”
球队和麦迪逊广场花园在周二的声明中对这些限制进行了猛烈抨击。
“我们被告知，纽约市警局将在第四场比赛中再次实施相同的‘冻结区’限制，这些限制原本是为了应对与总统出席相关的任何威胁。我们现在知道，这些限制根本与总统无关——这只是一个方便的借口，用来限制尼克斯球迷庆祝的方式和时间。……这些庆祝活动是纽约人灵魂与核心的一部分。市长和警察局长声称支持尼克斯队及其球迷，但他们的行为令人难以理解。我们敦促他们取消这些限制，拥抱对球队的热爱。”
今年3月，尼克斯队老板詹姆斯·多兰 (James Dolan) 和麦迪逊广场花园发起了一项感谢纽约市警局警员的活动。而现在，他们却在NBA总决赛期间，因不满安保规则而与警察局长发生争执。
周一，马刺队以115-111险胜尼克斯队，将大比分改写为2-1，但纽约依然保持领先。马刺球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 砍下32分、8个篮板和6次助攻，而尼克斯队的杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 则贡献了32分、5个篮板和5次助攻。纽约方面，OG·阿奴诺比 (OG Anunoby) 也出场了很长时间，贡献了28分和5个篮板。
第四场比赛定于美东时间周三晚上8:30开球。

Knicks call New York mayor, NYPD ‘party poopers’ for NBA Finals Game 4 security measures
Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks are mad at the New York Police Department and Mayor Zohran Mamdani for not letting them throw a big enough party for Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
In a statement released Tuesday, the team called NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mamdani the city’s “biggest party poopers” for putting security restrictions around the Garden for Wednesday night’s contest against the San Antonio Spurs. While the city has approved a watch party, the venue is complaining that the level of security is unnecessary.
“The last several victories the Knicks have had have been celebrated by thousands and thousands outside MSG. The joy and happiness were palpable everywhere,” a statement from the venue said. “Apparently Mayor Mamdani and Police Commissioner Tisch, despite what they say, don’t want to see these celebrations happen.”
There were significant security measures in place for Monday’s Game 3 because President Donald Trump attended the game. Those measures included a steel fence, limited access points and limits on what attendees could bring to the game.
As an additional security measure, a watch party that had been scheduled for outside MSG was moved to Bryant Park. Even so, that event, which attracted an estimated crowd of 7,000, was pockmarked by violence and rowdiness after the Knicks’ Game 3 loss to the Spurs. More than 20 people were taken into custody, five NYPD officers were injured and video footage showed people in San Antonio Spurs attire being verbally and physically harassed.
Police confirmed to The Athletic that the Knicks applied for and received a permit from the city to host a Game 4 watch party outside the Garden. The Knicks’ permit request was for 500-1,000 people, and they were granted the top limit, an NYPD spokesperson said. One thousand fans will be able to attend with a ticket.
“For Game 4, we do expect watch parties outside Madison Square Garden to resume,” Tisch said during a news conference on Monday. “Those watch parties will be managed with pens and screening, and we do anticipate the same security perimeter for safety purposes. We will have more to say about those plans in the days ahead.”
Entrants will need tickets to attend, and there is no reentry allowed, the mayor’s office and NYPD said. There will also be restrictions around MSG, with one entry point for the watch party and another four for fans who have tickets to the game.
NEW YORK: We’re back outside the Garden.
We have approved a ticketed MSG watch party for Game 4. More details soon.
As we prepare to watch together, let me be clear: this is a historic, joyful moment for our city. We will not allow it to be disrupted by violence.
Be safe,…
— Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@ NYCMayor) June 9, 2026
“New Yorkers are understandably passionate about the Knicks, and the overwhelming majority of fans watched the game last night in ways that were both safe and fun,” said Sam Raskin, a spokesperson for the city. “But the fights and other disruptive incidents — including assaults on police officers — in various parts of the city are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”
The team and MSG lashed out at those limitations in Tuesday’s statement.
“We have been told that the NYPD will once again implement the same ‘frozen zone’ restrictions for Game 4, which were supposedly to thwart any threats related to the President’s attendance. We now know these restrictions were never about the President — it was just a convenient excuse to restrict how and when Knicks fans celebrate. … These celebrations are part of the heart and soul of New Yorkers. The actions of the Mayor and Police Commissioner, supposedly in support of the Knicks and their fans, are difficult to understand. We urge them to lift these restrictions and embrace the love of the team.”
In March, Knicks owner James Dolan and MSG launched a campaign thanking NYPD officers. Now, they’re fighting with the police commissioner over security rules they don’t like during the NBA Finals.
The Spurs took a close 115-111 victory over the Knicks on Monday to put the series at 2-1, but New York still holds the lead. Spurs star Victor Wembenyama put up 32 points, eight rebounds and six assists, while the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson logged 32 points, five rebounds and five assists. New York also got big minutes from OG Anunoby, who had 28 points and five rebounds.
Tip-off for Game 4 is scheduled for Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
