In Fort Greene, Brooklyn, known for its vibrant community and leafy brownstones, multiple parties spilled out into the streets blocking traffic as hundreds of fans watched the game projected on the side of a building.

They held their breath until the final second, and then the streets erupted in cheers.

With tears in her eyes, 32-year-old Cassie Santos and her 8-year-old son Caden couldn't believe it finally happened.

Mayor Zaran Mamdani announced the city will hold a parade for the Knicks on Thursday.

They'll be presented with the keys to the city.
