The one basketball game New York Knicks fans have waited for since 1999 has arrived. Game 3 of the NBA Finals is bringing out more than celebrities for Knicks versus the San Antonio Spurs. The scene inside Madison Square Garden plans to be more energetic than ever before.
And MSG already has towels and t-shirts set up for fans.
The first images of both leaked online Monday before tipoff. Fans who attend the game receive a black-themed Finals shirt featuring members of the Knicks. The towels also say “Knicks Finals” emblazoned in the franchise's colors.

Long-suffering Knick fans, again, have awaited this moment for more than 25 years. The Knicks fanbase endured years of playoff disappointment plus landing high NBA Draft picks since their last Eastern Conference title.
New York earns a big chance to go up 3-0 on the previously favored Spurs by winning Monday's game. The Knicks have turned to Jalen Brunson and his clutch shooting to go up early on the Western Conference champs. Brunson's father Rick even played on the last Knicks team that competed for the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Karl-Anthony Towns rises as one more putting together a Most Valuable Player-like performance so far. KAT is turning heads for how he's defended the Spurs' towering 7-foot-4 behemoth Victor Wembanyama during the series, including keeping Wemby out of the paint often. Towns is also a deadly force on the scoring end through his 19.5 points per game average in the Finals. NYK also has seen Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Landry Shamet and others raise their game up on this stage.
Fans who won't be able to purchase tickets inside MSG likely will surround the arena anyway or occupy Times Square.
