Spurs Steal Game 3 at MSG 115-111, Series 2-1 — Trump Booed, Mamdani Sits "Different Section," Bryant Park Watch Party Draws 5K After NYPD/Secret Service Kill Original

Wembanyama 32/8/6 and Castle 23 sent the Knicks home with their first Finals loss as Trump (second sitting president at Finals ever) and Mamdani both attended Game 3 at MSG on Mon Jun 8. Trump was greeted with sustained boos from his suite. Mamdani told reporters he sat in "a very different section" and paid $1,000 for a SRO ticket — claim now under scrutiny because get-in prices ran north of $4,000 through Monday afternoon. Bryant Park hosted a free 5,000-cap watch party after NYPD/Secret Service vetoed the original outside-MSG gathering on security grounds. Game 4 Wednesday.
