Knicks vs. Spurs live updates: Fans mercilessly heckle Wembanyama as he leaves NYC hotel before Game 4: ‘F–k you!’

He’s got a pre-game routine.

A-lister Ben Stiller has arrives more than four hours prior to Game 4 tip off.

It’s no surprise that Hart was repeatedly stopped in the below video as he tried to cross the street.

The Knicks’ Swiss Army Knife has become a fan favorite among fans, and made his impact felt last game as he scored 16 points, dished out five assists and grabbed nine rebounds.

His star will only increase if the Knicks actually finish off this series.

We’re still roughly three hours out from tip-off, but the stage is set at MSG for a truly pivotal Game 4,

It’s not a stretch to say that the winner of tonight’s game may go on to win the series.

Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson’s Internet famous pooch was adopted from a small Long Island animal rescue by Knicks superfans, the family-run rescue revealed Tuesday.

The point guard welcomed little Stevie — one half of the “Brunson Doodles” duo — into his famous family two years ago after falling in love with him at Jake’s Rescue Ranch.

Jeremy Lin was spotted outside MSG again on Wednesday meeting fans and conducting interviews after attending Game 3 on Monday.

The non-flagrant foul call on Victor Wembenyama had a lot of viewers.

Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals generated historic viewership, with an average of 23.8 million people tuning in, per ESPN PR.

At its peak in the fourth quarter, the game saw 26.3 million people watch the Spurs seal a victory to make it a 2-1 series.

Additionally, it was most watched NBA Finals game since the 1998 series between the Bulls and Jazz – and an eye-popping 159 percent increase from last year’s event.

It was also the most watched Game 3 of any NBA Finals in the history of ESPN/ABC.

Madison Square Garden CEO James Dolan claimed Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “not a Knicks fan” before nixing the highly-anticipated watch party at the famed arena.

Dolan, 71, took issue with the exhaustive five-block security perimeter the mayor’s office and NYPD opted to keep up for Game 4.

The measures were originally put in place on Monday for President Trump’s appearance at Game 3, where he lounged in an exclusive box with Dolan.

“We’re seeing a lot of fear from the mayor’s office, a lot of anxiety,” Dolan told WFAN Sports Radio on Wednesday.

“They’re sitting there trying to say, ‘well, we’re big Knicks fans’ but they’re not Knicks fans,” he added, before specifically reiterating that Mamdani is “not a Knicks fan.”

Dolan also alleged that the intense security was “designed around stopping people from celebrating around Madison Square Garden.”

Dolan then announced he was canceling the watch party that was supposed to be held outside of the Garden — just four hours before tip-off.

This friendship is a slam dunk.

Jalen Bruson confessed that he looks for “Law and Order: SVU” actress Mariska Hargitay at every New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.

The point guard, 29, made the revelation on “The Richard Jefferson Show,” calling her his “No. 1.”

“Love her to death [and] she knows it,” he added in the resurfaced episode ahead of Wednesday’s Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals, where the Knicks will once again take on the San Antonio Spurs.

Mayor Mamdani is still rooting for the Knicks.

The New York City mayor responded to James Dolan’s barbs in a Wednesday X post, confirming the city approved MSG’s permit to host fans for a watch party outside the venue.

Dolan ripped Mamdani – and Gov. Katchy Hochul – during an appearance on WFAN Radio Wednesday, claiming security restrictions limiting the amount of fans and screens at the watch party went against the spirit of the event.

“MSG requested a permit for a watch party for 500-999 fans,” Mamdani wrote in response on X. “We approved that permit for 999 fans. Mr. Dolan has now decided to cancel the watch party.

I know this is breaking hearts across our city. But if there’s one thing Knicks fans don’t need permission for, it’s showing up for our team wherever we may be — no matter the block or the borough.

“Knicks in five.”

It won’t be a sweep, but the Knicks are looking to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in tonight’s Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.

In Monday’s Game 3, the San Antonio Spurs notched their first win of the series, snapping the Knicks’ 13-game win streak in the process.

It wasn’t quite Joe Namath, but James Dolan did make somewhat of a prediction hours before the monumental Game 4 of the NBA Finals. 

During an interview on WFAN, the Knicks’ owner professed his belief that his team will win its first championship since 1973 and bounce back from the disappointing Game 3 loss on Monday. 

“I expect to win tonight, being as [when] I make predictions here they come true,” he said, referring to the WFAN studio. “We’ll win tonight and we’ll win the finals.”
