Game 3 of the NBA Finals brought plenty of excitement to New York City, both on and off the court.
The championship matchup between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs took place at the legendary Madison Square Garden, drawing a star-studded crowd and plenty of headlines.
One of the night's biggest storylines involved Donald Trump, who attended the game and received a mixed reaction from fans. Videos circulating online appeared to show portions of the crowd booing the president during the National Anthem.
Outside the arena, demonstrators gathered along the route of Trump's motorcade. According to reports, some protesters held signs reading "Nobody wants you here" and "Trump must go" as the presidential motorcade traveled through the city.
Despite the political attention surrounding the event, basketball was not the only attraction inside the arena. The celebrity turnout was impressive, with appearances from Cardi B, who performed during halftime, along with Spike Lee, Jay-Z, Derek Jeter, Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller, and Taylor Swift.
With celebrity sightings, playoff basketball, and political drama all in one place, Madison Square Garden once again proved why it remains one of the most talked-about venues in sports and entertainment.
