The New York Knicks’ miraculous Game 4 comeback earlier this week resulted in a teen being beaten into a coma.
The New York Police Department said Friday that a “group approached a 17-year-old” near Madison Square Garden and “got into an argument” before an individual “punched and kicked the teen.”
“He had a seizure and was in a coma,” the NYPD said of the teen.
According to the New York Post, the wanted individual was the aggressor when he shouted, “Spurs are up right now. We’re winning. Spurs in 7.”
Somebody in the injured teen’s group, but not the teen, responded, “”F— the Spurs. Suck my d—.”
A brawl then commenced, which resulted in the teen’s injuries.
The Post said that the teen has come out of the coma and was listed in critical but stable condition.
“He’s pulling through. He is responding,” the teen’s mother told the Post, adding that he should be taken out of the ICU.

“The doctor said they will take him off the ventilator today. Hopefully he will be in a regular room tomorrow.”
The Knicks’ comeback prompted insanity in the streets. However, that resulted in 15 arrests and eggs being thrown at Victor Wembanyama when the Spurs returned to their team hotel.
Watch parties have turned violent throughout the Knicks’ run. During the Eastern Conference Finals, watch parties outside MSG were canceled, but they were brought back to start Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals. They were halted for Game 3 due to President Donald Trump’s attendance, and while a 1,000-person party was scheduled for Game 4, owner James Dolan axed the idea, saying he did not want thousands of others shut out from the event.
Numerous fights and other chaotic behavior throughout the city have been caught on camera.
