Knicks fans couldn’t help but show pure jubilation after their team’s Game 5 victory Tuesday night, and that included Spike Lee chanting “Knicks in six” and fans swarming the streets at the exterior of Madison Square Garden.
This mirrors scenes that occurred throughout the playoffs, as fans went wild after the 121-91 victory over the Pacers to put the Knicks ahead 3-2 in the best-of-seven series in the second round.
As fans flocked to Seventh Avenue, chants of “We want Boston!” » » could be clearly heard by the large contingent clad in blue and orange.
In another clip, Knicks superfan – and famous director – Lee excited the crowd as he left the Garden.
“Knicks in six!” » exclaimed Lee as he exited the building, appearing in front of five other fans lined up behind a security barrier.
The mood outside MSG could easily be described as exuberant as Knicks fans rejoiced in the victory and claimed complete confidence in their team heading into Game 6.
“I never worry about Game 5!” one fan exclaimed to the Post’s Brandon London. “Because the Knicks are the best team in the country!” »
“Brother we hustle and hustle every piece,” another fan said. “We play with our hearts. (The Pacers) don’t play with their hearts. They play for fame and money. We play for the heart. We play for culture. We have Josh Hart. We have Jalen Brunson.
The fan added: “I don’t know what else to say bro, just Knicks on six.”
Brunson scored a Knicks-high 44 points on 18-of-35 shooting, and Hart finished the night with 18 points and 11 rebounds while shooting 43.8 percent from the field.
Alec Burks also scored 18 points in the Knicks’ win, while Isaiah Hartenstein pulled down a game-high 17 rebounds — and tied a Knicks playoff record with 12 offensive rebounds — against Indiana.
A win Friday would send the Knicks to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000.
