The Knicks went on to lose the game, but the night was remembered less for the action on the court and more for the viral back-and-forth between President Donald Trump and ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith after Smith criticized Trump's presence at the game and the president responded.

The Knicks bounced back the next night, however, to take a 3-1 lead, and are now in position to close out the series with a win against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.
