Knicks' disciplined celebration at Chez Margaux highlights team unity and focus
After their big Game 6 victory, the Knicks headed over to Chez Margaux, a private spot in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, to celebrate. The vibe was lively, but the team kept it low-key. Players like Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges turned down multiple offers of free champagne, opting to share the drinks with fans instead. A team insider mentioned, "They are locked in and were just there to celebrate the win and weren’t drinking."
The night got even better with Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet hanging out courtside during the game. Known for being a Knicks fan, he jumped in on the celebration and snapped some pics with players like Deuce McBride. His presence really highlighted the strong bond between the team and its fans.
NFL star Russell Wilson, a big Knicks fan since joining the Giants, added to the star power of the event. His presence really showed how the Knicks attract fans from all over the entertainment world.
The Knicks really showed their strength in Game 6, winning 119–81 and proving how far they've come. They took the series 4–2 from the defending champs, the Boston Celtics.
