New York erupts in celebration as Knicks claim first NBA title in decades

Some instances of violence were reported during celebrations, though specific casualty or injury details were not provided in the report.

After decades of waiting, the New York Knicks claimed the NBA championship on Saturday night, defeating the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the Finals and ending a drought long enough that most living New Yorkers had never witnessed it. Cities carry their sports teams the way people carry old hopes — quietly, stubbornly, across years that test the faith — and when those hopes finally arrive, the release is rarely tidy. New York erupted in the way only New York can, with all the joy and all the friction that comes when millions of people share a single feeling at once.
