The New York Knicks are experiencing a resurgence this season and their playoff run has been spectacular thus far. Knicks fans ought to be excited about it as they have never witnessed this much success over the last decade or so. In attendance was Hollywood’s Pete Davidson, another die-hard Knicks fan who has been supporting them for a very long time.
People in any city get excited about their favorite celebrities being in the same vicinity. We’ve witnessed this during NBA Games as well with fans running onto the court trying to get a player’s attention.
Sometimes, it is quite the opposite. During competitive sports games, the crowds are usually filled with fans from both sides. Things get a little heated, some fans cross the lines by heckling the players of celebrities around them.

In Game 4 of the New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers series, Davidson spent some time interacting with his fans. While he took pictures and signed autographs, one particular fan got a little too close. Pete must’ve felt that his personal space was being invaded, which is completely normal at times.
In frustration, Davidson pushed the fan and it seemed like he asked the fan to move away. The actor/comedian continued to engage with the other fans later on.
The New York Knicks upset the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4
The New York Knicks are looking forward to an Eastern Conference takeover. They finished the regular season with 47 wins and 35 losses as the fifth seed. NY looks a bit more determined to make a good playoff run. The addition of Jalen Brunson during the offseason happened to be one of their best acquisitions in recent history.
New York snatched away Game 1, 3, and 4 from the Cavaliers and are ahead 3-1 in the series. All four games played were been low-scoring bouts. The Knicks defeated the Cavs 102-93 last night. They managed to sink in shots more consistently and accurately than the Cavs. Cleveland’s chances of reaching a deep playoff run have become slim.
Being down 1-3 has been an impossible task to overcome for most teams over the years. There have been several teams in this situation but over a handful have been able to settle the score while going the distance.
The last time the Cavs were in this situation, LeBron James led them to a title in 2016 against the Golden State Warriors. Now, they have a completely different team with new players. Their chemistry matters a lot to be successful.
