Summary
The Knicks are up 2-0 in the NBA Finals and New York City is buzzing! On WFAN's Carton Show, Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle discuss the electric atmosphere surrounding Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, why this could be the biggest sporting event New York has seen in decades, and how Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges and the Knicks have everyone believing a championship is within reach.
They also debate Victor Wembanyama's struggles, the Spurs' mistakes, the Knicks' championship mindset, and whether President Trump's attendance at Game 3 is being overblown.
