Big Apple streets were absolutely electric Wednesday night following the Knicks’ historic come-from-behind victory over the Spurs in Game 4 — putting the hometown heroes one game away from their first championship in more than 50 years.
All over the city, strangers became best friends, sharing high-fives and embraces after the game, as throngs of long-suffering fans poured out into the streets for a rare moment of unifying jubilation.
Incredible footage showed an FDNY firetruck slowly rolling down St. Mark’s Place, flanked on either side of the roadway by overjoyed fans as the firefighters inside reached out their arms to high-five, fist-bump, and handshake everyone in sight.
Meanwhile, Terminal 8 at JFK Airport was transformed into a full-blown party as passengers standing around with their luggage watched the final moments of the game, losing their minds in celebration as OG Anunoby nailed the game-winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds on the clock.
