Knicks fans are stretching their reach far beyond New York City, all the way to the Jersey Shore.
On a picture-perfect day in Asbury Park, beachgoers soaked up the sun while ready to cheer on their favorite team.
“We’re close enough. We’re everywhere. Knicks fans travel. It doesn’t matter where we are. We’re in Jersey, we’re everywhere,” one fan said.
As the sun began to set, the focus shifted from the sand to the screen.
Fans headed to bars and gathering spots across the Jersey Shore, ready to watch the game together.
“Just feeling the breeze, the scenery, the water—and to watch your favorite team win,” one fan said. “It should be fun. I’m really excited.”
By nightfall, rooftop spaces like the Asbury Hotel were packed, transforming into a sea of orange and blue filled with cheers and energy.
“This is all-time great views, Asbury Park, great vibes, great people, and a lot of Knicks fans. You can’t beat it,” a fan who described himself as a "die-hard" told News 12.
More than 50 years since their last NBA title, hope for the Knicks is growing louder, stretching from New York City to the beaches of New Jersey.
