When the New York Knicks pulled off an improbable comeback in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the entire city erupted. But for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, the celebration was just getting started.
The power couple hit the streets of New York City until 3 AM, shooting hoops in the middle of a massive crowd of Knicks fans in pure euphoria mode. Rocky went first, sinking his shot before Rihanna stepped up and proved she’s got some serious game herself—moving like she could run circles around Jalen Brunson out there. Neither was decked out in full Knicks gear, but Rocky channeled the team’s orange in his fit, while Rihanna stayed her usual effortlessly stylish self.
The San Antonio Spurs had to be kicking themselves watching this celebration unfold. They’d blown a 29-point lead in the second half, managing just 30 points after halftime and squandering a golden opportunity to tie the series. Meanwhile, New York’s finest—celebrity and fan alike—were reveling in one of the most shocking turnarounds in Finals history.
The stakes couldn’t be higher for the Knicks, who are one win away from capturing their first NBA title since 1973. If they finish the job, something tells us Rihanna and Rocky won’t be the only ones staying out even later. New York City might not sleep for days.
