The New York Knicks are back in the NBA playoffs. And so are their fans.
A 15,000 home crowd is expected to rock the Madison Square Garden as the Knicks begin their playoff quest.
Game 1 of their first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks is scheduled on Sunday with Game 2 on Wednesday. Both games have been sold out, the Knicks announced on Thursday.
The Knicks’ return to the playoffs is being trumpeted as the largest indoor event in New York since the pandemic.
“I hope everyone in sports and entertainment is listening because the public has spoken — they are fine with getting vaccinated and want to get back to the experiences they love,” Dolan said in the statement.
