The Knicks aren’t waiting to get back to New York to celebrate their first NBA championship in 53 years.
The team is flying back home right after their celebrations end at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio rather than spending the night in Texas and flying Sunday morning, according to multiple reports.
They’ll join Knicks fans celebrating across the city and beyond, although some aren’t heeding owner James Dolan’s plea to stay safe.
Some fans smashed the windshield of an NYPD car outside of Madison Square Garden after the Knicks won their first championship in 53 years.
The team will have several days to celebrate the end of its title drought before a parade down the Canyon of Heroes on Thursday.
Jalen Brunson carried the Knicks to a win in Game 5, scoring 45 points in their 94-90 win on 14-for-27 shooting en route to being named the unanimous NBA Finals MVP.
