The MSG is often packed with celebrities, especially during the playoffs. The likes of Timothee Chalamet, Spike Lee, and Ben Stiller were all in attendance for Game 3 and will be expected to be courtside for Game 4 as well. There was a lot of hype heading into Game 3 as the Knicks looked to take an unassailable 3-0 lead. Unfortunately, it did not happen.

American rapper Cardi B, who was present at the game, told fans that the atmosphere inside the arena felt different because of Trump’s visit.

It felt kinda dark. It felt like the Principal was there and everybody had to be like in their best behavior. But nevertheless, it was a great game. You can’t stop the President from going to a game but it did feel a little dark in there but it’s okay.
