Then the series shifted to New York and everything changed.<\/p>\n<p>Game 3 featured a visit by President Trump, not to mention an accompanying security boost that created all sorts of chaos for anyone trying to attend. A watch party scheduled for outside Madison Square Garden was moved to nearby Bryant Park and a different kind of chaos broke out there. Oh, and the Knicks lost to the San Antonio Spurs, ensuring that the series would stretch at least into the weekend.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-container\">\n<div class=\"ad-wrapper article-treatment\">\n<div class=\"ad-slug-container\">\n<p class=\"ad-slug\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"mid1\" data-position=\"mid1\" class=\"ad place-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you thought Game 3 was wild, it was nothing compared to Game 4, when the Knicks rallied from a 29-point deficit to stun the Spurs and move one win away from a championship. This still might be a relatively quick series if New York can wrap things up in Saturday\u2019s Game 5, but it can no longer be considered ho-hum.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll hit on the finals in this week\u2019s quiz, but of course that\u2019s just a start.
