在NBA总决赛第二、三、四场比赛结束后，纽约球迷聚集地附近爆发了暴力事件，并有数十人被捕。在此之后，纽约尼克斯 (New York Knicks) 宣布，计划于周六晚上在曼哈顿的三个地点为系列赛第五场举办观赛派对。
目前，尼克斯在系列赛中以大比分3-1领先圣安东尼奥马刺 (San Antonio Spurs)。当球队试图在圣安东尼奥客场赢下比赛、夺得自1973年以来的首个总冠军时，纽约的球迷将可以参加由球队主办的观赛派对，地点设在无线电城音乐厅、中央公园的沃尔曼冰场以及麦迪逊广场花园外。第五场比赛定于美东时间周六晚上8:30开球。
球队表示，球迷在参加前需要进行登记，球馆外的聚集人数将限制在3000人以内。中央公园和麦迪逊广场花园的活动是免费的；无线电城音乐厅的观赛派对门票为每张10美元。
纽约市警察局 (New York Police Department) 表示，将在第五场比赛期间在麦迪逊广场花园周围设立安全警戒线，就像最近其他几场总决赛时所做的那样。从周六下午4点开始，除非有授权理由（例如持有观赛派对或警戒线内其他活动的门票、从宾夕法尼亚车站出发的车票，或者在该地区工作或居住），否则任何人不得进入西29街至西35街、第六大道至第八大道之间的区域。警方表示，禁止携带包括但不限于包袋、背包、酒精、瓶装饮料和雨伞等物品进入安全区域。
纽约警局表示，周六有三项活动重叠——第五场观赛派对、麦迪逊广场花园的一场音乐会，以及从宾夕法尼亚车站出发前往新泽西州东卢瑟福观看巴西对阵摩洛哥世界杯比赛的球迷——这些人群的交汇预计将吸引“数万人”涌入该地区。
在总决赛期间，纽约观赛派对周边已经发生了几起暴力事件。纽约警局周五表示，正在寻找一名涉嫌在周三晚上第四场比赛后将一名17岁少年殴打至昏迷的男子的线索。据纽约警局称，在距离麦迪逊广场花园以北两个街区的西35街上，一伙人走向了这名少年，在似乎发生争执后，嫌疑人涉嫌对受害者拳打脚踢，导致受害者癫痫发作并陷入昏迷。
警方并未说明该事件是否与比赛有关。尽管如此，纽约警局表示，在第四场比赛结束后，他们在球馆周边地区逮捕了15人，并向另外41人发出了刑事传唤。当时估计有1万名群众聚集在街头，庆祝尼克斯完成29分的大逆转胜利。
“昨晚在比赛期间和比赛结束后，再次出现了大量人群，他们做出了极其鲁莽和危险的行为，”纽约警局在周四的一份声明中表示。“这恰恰证明了为什么纽约警局增加了在麦迪逊广场花园内部及周边的警力部署。”
据警方称，周三晚上的聚集人群中，有人爬上车顶、损坏了四辆纽约警局的警车、试图掀翻一辆出租车、向警察投掷玻璃瓶、阻碍交通，并攀爬脚手架、灯杆、红绿灯和建筑物。警方表示，有10名纽约警局的警员在试图控制现场时受伤，其中一人被玻璃瓶砸中头部。
在尼克斯输掉第三场比赛后，纽约警局逮捕了8人，并向另外13人发出了刑事法庭传唤。被捕人员中有两人被指控袭警，第三人被指控企图袭警。在第二场比赛后，纽约警局表示其逮捕了17人，并因扰乱公共秩序发出了9份传唤。
在周三的第四场比赛之前，尼克斯老板詹姆斯·多兰 (James Dolan) 批评了纽约市长佐兰·马姆达尼 (Zohran Mamdani) 和纽约警局，原因是该市针对麦迪逊广场花园外的观赛派对制定了严格的安全计划。该计划保留了限制措施，以确保唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 总统在出席第三场比赛期间的安全。尼克斯没有继续举办该活动，而是取消了聚集，并称市府官员是“扫兴的人”。
此前，在东部决赛期间警方逮捕了6人之后，该市曾在5月份拒绝批准在麦迪逊广场花园外举办观赛派对的许可，但在总决赛第一和第二场期间解除了这一禁令。

Knicks to host Game 5 watch parties at MSG, Central Park, Radio City Music Hall
After violent incidents broke out and dozens of individuals were arrested in the vicinity of fan gatherings in New York following Games 2, 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals, the New York Knicks announced plans to hold watch parties at three Manhattan locations Saturday night for Game 5 of the series.
While the Knicks, who lead the series 3-1 over the San Antonio Spurs, attempt to clinch the franchise’s first NBA championship since 1973 with a win in San Antonio, fans in New York will be able to attend team-sponsored watch parties at Radio City Music Hall, Wollman Rink in Central Park and outside of Madison Square Garden. Game 5 is scheduled to tip off Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Fans will be required to register before attending, the team said, and the gathering outside of the arena will be limited to 3,000 people. The events at Central Park and Madison Square Garden are free; the watch party at Radio City Music Hall is $10 per ticket.
The New York Police Department said it would establish a security perimeter around MSG during Game 5, as it has done for other recent finals games. Beginning at 4 p.m. Saturday, no one will be allowed in the area from West 29th to West 35th Streets, between Sixth and Eighth Avenues, unless they have an authorized reason to be there, such as a ticket to the watch party or another event inside the perimeter, a train ticket departing from Penn Station, or if they work or live in the area. People are prohibited from bringing items, including but not limited to bags, backpacks, alcohol, bottles and umbrellas inside the security zone, the police said.
The convergence of three overlapping events on Saturday — the Game 5 watch party, a concert at MSG and World Cup fans leaving from Penn Station for the Brazil-Morocco match in East Rutherford, N.J. — is expected to draw “tens of thousands” of people to the area, the NYPD said.
Several violent incidents have taken place around the New York watch parties during the finals. The NYPD said Friday that it is seeking information on a man suspected of beating a 17-year-old into a coma after Game 4 on Wednesday night. According to the NYPD, a group approached the teen on West 35th Street, two blocks north of Madison Square Garden, and after appearing to argue with each other, the suspect allegedly punched and kicked the victim, who had a seizure before falling into a coma.
The police did not say whether that incident was related to the game. Still, the NYPD said it arrested 15 individuals and issued criminal summonses to another 41 in the area around the arena after Game 4, when an estimated crowd of 10,000 gathered in the streets to celebrate the Knicks’ 29-point comeback victory.
“Once again, there were large crowds of people who engaged in incredibly reckless and dangerous behavior last night, both during and after the game,” the NYPD said Thursday in a statement. “This demonstrates exactly why the NYPD has increased our presence in and around Madison Square Garden.”
According to police, members of the crowd on Wednesday night climbed on top of vehicles, damaged four NYPD cars, tried to flip a taxi, hurled glass bottles at police, blocked traffic and climbed scaffolding, light poles, traffic lights and buildings. Ten NYPD officers were injured while attempting to control the scene, the police said, including one who was struck in the head with a glass bottle.
The NYPD arrested eight people and issued criminal court summonses to 13 others after the Knicks’ loss in Game 3. Two of those arrested were charged with assaulting a police officer, and a third was charged with attempted assault on a police officer. After Game 2, the NYPD said it arrested 17 people and handed down nine summonses for disorderly conduct.
Before Wednesday’s Game 4, Knicks owner James Dolan criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the NYPD over the city’s strict security plans for a watch party outside MSG, which kept restrictions in place to ensure President Donald Trump’s safety while attending Game 3. Instead of proceeding with the event, the Knicks canceled the gathering and called city officials “party poopers.”
The city had previously denied a permit for watch parties outside MSG in May after police arrested six people during the Eastern Conference finals, but lifted the ban during Games 1 and 2 of the finals.
