Just like the Warriors, the New York Knicks were trailing behind their opponent by 3-1 after Game 4. They needed to win Wednesday night’s game to stay in the championship race.
The critical event was attended by several big names from the entertainment industry including the Jonas Brothers, who were seen posing alongside Roger Federer at the recently held Miami Grand Prix. The grand racing event was held on May 7 and concluded with Max Verstappen’s victory. This was the second consecutive time that the Dutch-Belgian racing driver won the Miami GP trophy.
