The New York Knicks are up 2-0 in the NBA Finals and have a chance to go up 3-0 in Game 3 on Monday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Excitement is brewing in the city, as the fanbase showed their enthusiasm by crashing ESPN's pregame show.
Malika Andrews ended the segment by getting fans watching the live pregame show engaged by starting a “Knicks in 4” chant on Monday morning. Those in attendance completely took over the audio of the program, as the fanbase is convinced the NBA Finals are going to end in a sweep.
"Knicks in 4! Knicks in 4!"

The Knicks are just two wins away from making the chant come true. Game 1 was a great outing for New York, as the club earned a 105-95 win. Meanwhile, Game 2 came down to the wire, as the team secured a narrow 105-104 victory. The stars aligned in the first two matchups, and the franchise will need to be at its best for Game 3.
Monday's contest will have all eyes watching. Especially with Donald Trump attending the game between the Knicks and Spurs, which makes him the first sitting U.S. President to attend an NBA Finals game.
With Trump going to Game 3, security measures have been increased. However, that likely won't stop Knicks fans from having the absolute time of their lives. Especially if the team can pull out of Game 3 with a win.
The Knicks are scheduled to take on the Spurs on Monday at 8:30 p.m. EST. A win gives the club a commanding 3-0 lead. No team in league history has ever come back from being down three games to none in the postseason. So, a victory would at least catapult the chances of New York bringing home a title.
