However, the joyous atmosphere was accompanied by some minor incidents, as captured in a video posted by photojournalist @mickmicknyc. The video shows a significant NYPD presence outside MSG, managing the crowds and cleaning up post-game debris. A noticeable detail is a traffic light hanging precariously from a pole, suggesting the intensity of the celebrations.
