President Trump attends Game 3 of the NBA Finals

NEW YORK (NBC, KYMA) - President Donald Trump was among the many big names at Madison Square Garden Monday night for Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

President Trump was seated in Knicks owner Jim Dolan's box, accompanied by a slew of administration officials, including Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

Some of his family members, including Special Envoy Jared Kushner and granddaughter Kai Trump, also joined.

The president's presence at Monday's game made him the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game.

It also prompted heightened security measures at Madison Square Garden, forcing ticket holders to adhere to a strict no-bag policy and TSA-style screening before entry.

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the New York Knicks 115-111. Game 4 of the NBA Finals will air on ABC at 5:30 p.m. Pacific.
