Scenes from a jubilant night at Knicks watch party…
All across the town, on a stunning cool night inside Central Park, not fairly within ear shot of the determined roars inside the Garden, where the Knicks had been making their Game 5 stand against the Pacers, inside bars and eating places in every single place, inside anxiety-ridden hearts and minds, all the Watch Parties had turned into homes of prayer, asking for divine intervention from the basketball gods to keep alive the hopes and desires of the championship-starved devoted.
Every single one of these springtime playoff pleasure rides had ended prematurely and/or unceremoniously since 1973, when Clyde Frazier and Captain Willis Reed grew to become two-time NBA champions and reminded those fortunate enough to expertise it why basketball is The City Game.
But on this night inside Central Park, a night when the town’s basketball back was against the wall, it didn’t finish in despair. It didn’t finish with Knicks followers crying in their beer.
It ended in jubilation and plans for one more Watch Party on Saturday night, and perhaps one more after that, at least.
