As the West Finals heat up, the Knicks advance towards the NBA Finals
The Knicks take control of the East, while the Thunder and Spurs, led by Victor Wembaneyama, set up a tense Western Conference Finals battle.
New York’s Madison Square Garden is famous for its celebrity gathering, but at Cleveland’s Rocket Arena, perhaps the world’s most famous woman appeared courtside Saturday night.
Pop icon Taylor Swift and her fiancé Travis Kelce attended Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Knicks and Cavaliers. Kelce, a longtime star for the Kansas City Chiefs, grew up near Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
His hometown team, which lost 2-0 in the East final and fought to avoid a 3-0 deficit, could use this support.

With the Cavaliers down 91-82 in the fourth quarter, Kelce appeared on the jumbotron and excited the crowd by chugging what appeared to be an adult beverage. Swift held her hands to her face for a moment, then burst into applause.
