NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani urges Knicks fans to 'be responsible' ahead of pivotal NBA Finals Game 5

With the Knicks on the verge of securing the franchise's first championship in over five decades, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani took to social media to deliver a message about fan behavior.

The 34-year-old followed with a call for safety, accountability and respect.

"As we celebrate, be responsible, look out for one another, stay safe, be smart, and make this a night that reflects the very best of our city. Let's go Knicks."

Mamdani also recently announced that 10 LinkNYC kiosks across New York City will stream Saturday night's Knicks-Spurs game.

The mayor's social media message follows multiple incidents involving Knicks fans harassing Spurs supporters, some of which escalated into physical violence.

Game 5 tips off at 8:30 p.m. ET at Frost Bank Center, with the Knicks holding a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
