Domači košarkarji, ki so se nadejali, da bodo s pomočjo navijačev zabeležili prvo zmago proti sokolom, so v dvorani Barclays Center doživeli hladen tuš. Kako prazne so bile tribune arene v New Yorku, pričajo številne objave na družabnih omrežjih.
''Resno. Nikogar ni,'' je zapisal Brett Pollakoff. ''Kje je Brooklyn?'' se je spraševal Robert Hahn, Mike Mazzeo pa je pomenljivo dejal: ''Klasika piva in slanine je bolj obiskana (upam, da zamujajo).''
Napovedovalec TNT Marv Albert je dejal, da je vodstvo mrežic pričakovalo razprodano dvorano, zato je slab obisk še toliko bolj presenetljiv.
