In a landmark moment, United States President Donald Trump made history by becoming the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game. The occasion was Game 3 of the championship series between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, held at the iconic Madison Square Garden on a Monday night. Trump was accompanied by his family and several cabinet members, including Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Also present was his granddaughter, Kai Trump, and Jared Kushner. As the national anthem played, Trump and his entourage appeared on the arena's Jumbotron, with the president standing proudly with his hand over his heart. However, his presence was met with a mixed reaction from the crowd, with some booing him when he was shown on the screen. Despite this, Trump seemed unfazed, later telling reporters, 'It was, I think, mostly cheers. It was loud, and it was very enthusiastic.' The game itself was a thrilling contest, with the Spurs emerging victorious, defeating the Knicks 115-111. This win not only snapped the Knicks' 13-game playoff winning streak but also reduced the series lead to 2-1. Victor Wembanyama was the star of the show for the Spurs, scoring an impressive 32 points, along with eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and two steals. Stephon Castle also made a significant contribution, adding 23 points off the bench for the Spurs.
