Scandal Outside "The Garden"! New Yorkers Riot After NBA Finals Loss: San Antonio Fans Beaten, Jerseys Torn Off in the Street /VIDEO/

It was clear that New York Knicks fans wanted to secure the remaining steps towards the title in their own Madison Square Garden, but San Antonio woke up! The Spurs broke serve in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, winning 115-111 to cut the series deficit to 2-1, making it clear the series would definitely return to Texas. The only question is whether it will be with the Knicks leading 3-1 or the series tied at 2-2.

The brilliant Victor Wembanyama rose to the occasion, silencing the packed arena in the Big Apple where home fans eagerly awaited a victory that would bring them closer to their first championship title since 1973. The spectacle was even attended by US President Donald Trump, who was booed upon arrival and later reportedly seen dozing off in the stands.

No Police in Sight!

However, the initial excitement and celebration quickly turned into anger and aggression after the painful loss. San Antonio fans, who bravely wore their team jerseys, experienced this firsthand. As they left the arena, they were met with chaos. Enraged New York supporters attacked them on the street. A frenzied mob surrounded the visiting fans, leading to a brutal brawl and the forceful removal of their jerseys. One Spurs fan immediately lost his team's colors, while another refused to give his up, resulting in the furious crowd literally tearing the jersey off his back.

What's astonishing is the complete absence of police. The San Antonio supporters barely escaped with their lives from the furious crowd of New Yorkers, who evidently perceived the Spurs' insignia as the ultimate provocation. The next game is also scheduled in New York, set for Wednesday night into Thursday morning at 2:30 AM Central European Time.
