周六，尼克斯队在NBA总决赛第五场比赛中击败圣安东尼奥马刺队，赢得了他们53年来的第一个NBA总冠军，并在纽约市的五个区掀起了一场盛大的派对。
尼克斯队在马刺队的主场以94-90获胜，观众中挤满了尼克斯队的球迷。
回到纽约，整个城市的人群欢呼雀跃，他们从酒吧、户外观看派对甚至户外售货亭观看。
尼克斯队后卫彭江雨·布伦森以45分领先全队，结束了整个季后赛的非凡表现。
“我不知道我在感觉什么。我很敬畏。每当有人把我们排除在外，我们就想办法去做些什么，”他告诉ESPN的丽莎·索尔特。
布伦森被评为总决赛最有价值球员，他的父亲里克也在台上，里克是尼克斯队的助理教练。
“这是我梦寐以求的一切，这就是我来纽约的原因，”布伦森说。
特朗普总统祝贺尼克斯队
周日早些时候，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)在他的社交媒体平台上发表了一篇帖子，向尼克斯队及其老板、他的朋友吉姆·多兰表示祝贺。
“祝贺吉姆·多兰和纽约尼克斯队!!!特朗普说:“这是多么美好的一年，但更重要的是，我们都见证了多么不可思议的季后赛胜利，特别是过去四年——这可能是篮球史上最伟大的一年。”。
特朗普还称赞了布伦森在系列赛中的表现，并称赞了尼克斯队其他几位球星的发挥。特朗普作为多兰的客人出席了在麦迪逊广场花园举行的NBA总决赛第三场比赛，成为第一位出席总决赛的在任总统。
“还有，今晚，一位超级巨星诞生了。他的名字是彭江雨·布伦森，还有其他人，包括卡尔·安东尼·唐斯、奥格·阿努诺比和伟大的爱国者米切尔·罗宾逊!”特朗普写道。
在纽约市，球迷们走上街头庆祝期待已久的胜利。一大群人聚集在麦迪逊广场花园外，当胜利在大屏幕上播出时，他们热情地欢呼着。
一些庆祝活动变成了混乱
虽然大部分庆祝活动是和平的，但警方表示，一些狂欢越过了界限。
纽约警察局表示，一名17岁的少年在西42街和百老汇附近的庆祝活动中被击中一次脚部。当局说，受伤的少年情况稳定，被一辆警车送往贝尔维尤医院，因为一辆救护车被挤满曼哈顿中城街道的人群挡住了。
警方称，三人被拘留，并在现场发现了一把枪支。警方没有详细说明动机或公布可能的指控。
据纽约警察局称，在赛后的混乱中，至少有四人被砍伤或刺伤。
距离时代广场大约一个街区，在西42街和EighthAvenue的交叉口，消防部门在周日凌晨2点47分左右对多辆校车火灾做出了回应。
据NYPD报道，五辆用于从曼哈顿运送足球迷到新泽西大都会体育馆的校车被点燃，并被人跳上车或用棒球棒击打而损坏。
当局说，至少有五辆NYPD汽车也受到严重损坏，人们跳到它们上面，用棒球棒破坏它们，打碎NYPD汽车的挡风玻璃。
在一片欢腾中，人们爬上灯杆、红绿灯和脚手架。据NYPD说，当粉丝占领街道和大道，拒绝驱散的命令时，爆发了几次大规模的战斗。当局称，10名NYPD警察在混乱中受伤，其中一人被打中面部，另一人被玻璃瓶击中。
根据NYPD的说法，总共有63人因尼克斯队获胜后的指控而被捕，包括袭击警察，非法持有武器(一支枪)，刑事恶作剧，扰乱治安，拒捕和妨碍政府行政管理。
市长宣布胜利游行的计划
在布鲁克林的部分地区，烟花燃放，汽车和公交车鸣喇叭，加入粉丝们欢呼和呐喊的大合唱。
尼克斯队上一次赢得NBA总冠军是在1973年。该队上一次进入决赛是在1999年，当时他们以1比4输给了马刺，最后一场比赛在花园举行。
上一次纽约市队赢得职业篮球冠军是在两年前，当时纽约自由队赢得了WNBA总决赛。
尼克斯队的总决赛被紧密的比分，不可思议的发挥以及第四场比赛中NBA总决赛历史上最大的反击所照亮。
获胜后，市长办公室立即宣布，周四将在市政厅为该队举行彩带游行。
“50多年来，纽约人一直在等待这一时刻，”市长Zohran Mamdani在一份声明中说。“经历了擦肩而过、心碎和希望每一年都是我们的一年，这座城市从未停止对尼克斯的信任。这个团队用勇气、韧性和热情实现了这个希望——就像五个区一样。”
Knicks win 1st NBA championship in more than 50 years, setting off pandemonium in NYC
The Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs Saturday in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, winning their first NBA championship in 53 years and setting off a giant party across the five boroughs of New York City.
The Knicks won 94-90 at the Spurs' home court to a crowd that was packed with its fair share of Knick fans.
Back in the Big Apple, crowds across the city cheered as they watched from bars, outdoor watch parties and even outdoor kiosks.
Knicks guard Jalen Brunson led the team with 45 points, capping an extraordinary run throughout the playoffs.
"I don't know what I'm feeling. I'm in awe. Whenever anyone count us out, we found a way to go do something about it," he told ESPN's Lisa Salters.
Brunson was named finals MVP and joined on stage by his father Rick, an assistant coach on the Knicks.
"It's everything I've dreamed of, that's why I came to New York," Brunson said.
President Trump congratulates the Knicks
President Donald Trump gave his congratulations to the Knicks and their owner, his friend Jim Dolan, in a post early Sunday on his social media platform.
"Congratulations to Jim Dolan and the New York Knicks!!! What a year it has been but, even more so, what incredible playoff wins we have all witnessed, especially the last four - Maybe the greatest in the history of basketball," Trump said.
Trump also praised Brunson's performance in the series and complimented the play of several other Knicks stars. Trump attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden as Dolan's guest, becoming the first sitting president to attend a finals game.
"Also, tonight, a superstar was born. His name is Jalen Brunson, and there are others, including, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and great Patriot, Mitchell Robinson!"Trump wrote.
In New York City, fans took to the streets to celebrate the long-awaited win. A huge crowd gathered outside Madison Square Garden, cheering enthusiastically as the win played out on a giant screen.
Some celebrations turned into mayhem
While most of the celebrations were peaceful, police said some of the revelry stepped over the line.
The New York Police Department said a 17-year-old was shot once in the foot during celebrations near West 42nd Street and Broadway. The injured teenager, who was in stable condition, was taken in a police squad car to Bellevue Hospital because an ambulance was blocked by crowds swarming the streets of Midtown Manhattan, authorities said.
Three people were in custody and a firearm was recovered at the scene, police said. Police did not detail a motive or release potential charges.
At least four people were slashed or stabbed during the post-game pandemonium, according to the New York Police Department.
About a block from Times Square, at the intersection of West 42nd Street and EighthAvenue, the Fire Department responded multiple school bus fires around 2:47 a.m. on Sunday.
Five school buses that were being used to transport soccer fans from Manhattan to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey were set ablaze and damaged by people jumping on top of them or pounding them with baseball bats, according to the NYPD.
At least five NYPD vehicles were also badly damaged by people jumping on top of them and vandalizing them with baseball bats, smashing the windshields of the NYPD vehicles, authorities said.
Amid the jubilation, people climbed up light poles, traffic lights and scaffolding. Several large fights broke out as fans took over streets and avenues, refusing orders to disperse, according to NYPD. Ten NYPD officers were injured in the mayhem, including one who who was punched in the face and another who was struck with a glass bottle, authorities said.
In total, 63 people were arrested on charges stemming from aftermath of the Knicks' victory, including assault on a police officer, criminal possession of weapon (a gun), criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental administration, according to the NYPD.
Mayor announces plans for victory parade
In parts of Brooklyn, fireworks went off, and cars and buses honked their horns, joining the loud chorus of cheers and cries from the fans.
The Knicks last won NBA championship in 1973. The last time the team made it to the Finals was in 1999 when they lost to the Spurs four games to one, with the final game taking place at the Garden.
The last time a New York City team won a professional basketball championship was two years ago when the New York Liberty won the WNBA Finals.
The Knicks' Finals run washighlighted by tight scores, incredible plays and, in Game 4,the biggest comebackin NBA Finals history.
Immediately after the win, the mayor's office announced a ticker-tape parade for the team will be held at City Hall Thursday.
"For more than 50 years, New Yorkers have waited for this moment," Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement. "Through near misses, heartbreak and a hope that every year could be our year, this city never stopped believing in the Knicks. And this team fulfilled that hope with grit, resilience and heart — just like the five boroughs itself."
