Victor Wembanyama, other NBA Finals players condemn violence after Spurs fans attacked following Game 3: [View all]
'It's unacceptable'
Both the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs shot below 30% from the field in the final frame of the Spurs' redemptive 115-111 victory in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.
The fourth quarter was a rock fight. What happened afterward in the streets of New York was much uglier.
Real fighting took place, as Spurs fans were attacked by New Yorkers in the aftermath of the Knicks squandering an opportunity to go up 3-0 in the series. People wearing Spurs gear were jumped and followed. Videos of postgame fracases in the streets went viral, including one in which a fan's Victor Wembanyama jersey was torn, taken and stomped on.
Here is another assault caught on camera:
