The New York Knicks will host the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of their matchup in the second round on Saturday.
New York currently holds a 2-0 lead after stealing both games in Boston and have put the Celtics in a position where they are going to have to win one or both games on the Knicks' home court.
It will be an intense and emotional game as the tickets to get into Game 2 between the two historic franchises are breaking records.
According to Joe Pompliano on X, the cheapest tickets to get in the gates of Knicks-Celtics Game 3 are going for more than $900.
"These are the most expensive Knicks tickets ever," Pompliano said.

With a highly anticipated game set in Madison Square Garden – one of the most historic arenas in the world – players will face not only intense emotion but also plenty of distractions.
Head Coach Tom Thibodeau addressed Knicks fans and the press on Saturday leading up to a highly anticipated Game 3, mentioning the importance of staying focused.
"We certainly appreciate our fans, and being home and all that. But the playoffs — each game is different, and you have to earn your wins, and don't get lost in the emotion of the game," Thibodeau said at a pregame press conference.

The Knicks have been able to come back in the second half in Games 1 and 2 that took place in Boston and stole both of them in the final seconds.
Now they will look to host and put the nail in the coffin of the Celtics while being on their home court in Games 3 and 4.
Game 3 will tip off on Saturday and it is set to be one of the most historic Knicks games in history.
