@dailymail: Madison Square Garden is beefing up security on Monday for Game 3 of the NBA Finals, which will be the first game in the series held in New York City. President Trump is planning to attend following an invite from Knicks owner James Dolan, and the team is telling fans to expect longer security lines due to Trump's arrival. Notable is that the NYPD is denying the permit for a watch party adjacent to the area, a decision which a police spokeswoman said was made in conjunction with the U.S. Secret Service per the New York Times. For the first two games of the series, the outdoor watch parties near MSG drew thousands of fans. 17 were arrested following the Knicks' Game 2 victory. The Knicks currently hold a 2-0 over the San Antonio Spurs going into Monday night's game, with Mayor Zohran Mamdani also expected to attend. #news #sports #trump #knicks #newyorkcity
