Knicks hoping to host 13,000 fans at Madison Square Garden for long-awaited NBA Playoffs

The New York Knicks' first playoff games in eight years at Madison Square Garden could have as close to a packed house as we've seen in well over a year. On Wednesday, the team announced that tickets for their first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks are now available for sale to the general public. With it comes the hope that the Knicks can host roughly 13,000 fans at Madison Square Garden, citing New York State's decision to increase total arena capacity in time for Game 1 on Sunday.
