U.S. President Donald Trump faced a hostile reception at Madison Square Garden during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, where the New York Knicks lost 115–111 to the San Antonio Spurs.
According to the Toronto Sun, boos erupted even before Trump entered the arena, with fans jeering as his motorcade passed through the streets. Inside MSG, the crowd’s reaction intensified whenever Trump appeared on the Jumbotron, nearly drowning out Broadway performer Avery Wilson’s rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.
Despite the negative reception, Trump smirked and saluted when shown on screen during the opening ceremonies. The incident underscored the charged atmosphere as Knicks fans watched their team fall behind in the Finals series.
