Donald Trump booed by fans at NBA Finals in New York

U.S. President Donald Trump attended the third game of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, where the New York Knicks faced the San Antonio Spurs. When the arena’s screens showed his image during the national anthem, spectators responded with whistles and boos. Trump later described the reaction as cheering. The Knicks lost the game 111–115, putting the Spurs ahead 2–1 in the best‑of‑seven series.

Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to appear at an NBA Finals game. NBA commissioner Adam Silver called him “a real Knicks fan.” Security measures were heightened, with earlier arrivals and extra checks, and protest signs were visible throughout the venue.
