New York Celebrates Knicks While World Cup Excitement Lags

Festive celebrations were held throughout New York City. Some supporters stood atop their cars on the streets of Manhattan. A similar festive buzz was heard in bars along the coast in Santa Monica, thousands of miles away.

But this was not for a World Cup match. It was for the New York Knicks, who made the most spectacular comeback in NBA league history on Wednesday, defeating the San Antonio Spurs.
