MSG Sports criticizes NYPD and Mamdani over Knicks Game 4 security

James Dolan’s company slams mayor and police commissioner as ‘party poopers’ over large restricted zone

The owner of the New York Knicks basketball team sharply criticized both the New York police department and Zohran Mamdani after city officials announced an extensive security strategy for Game 4 of the NBA finals, featuring a large restricted zone and additional access controls.

The expanded security measures follow Monday’s Game 3 watch party at Bryant Park, where disorder erupted and led to arrests, damage to property, and incidents involving assaults on police officers.
