🏀 When the Knicks were on the court during the NBA Finals, people were watching, but once the games were over, a lot started brawling.

"When people are watching the Knicks, there's not a lot of crime going on, but then once it's over, people are going to the streets, and then there's an increase in crime," director of research at Vital City Paul Reeping told 1010 WINS.

He researched the impacts that the playoffs, watch parties and people on the streets had on crime during the historic Knicks run, which saw the team claim victory over the San Antonio Spurs and earn its third NBA Championship title.

"It's really the effect of people drinking, people being up later than they normally are, and I think there's an effect of people just being on the streets when they have not been before," Reeping said.

While he acknowledged that the Knicks win is "net positive" for the city, the numbers—like a 31% increase in felony assault after the game—were of note for researchers. The correlation was particularly strong in Manhattan, he said, likely due to the amount of sports bars and watch parties available, along with the borough being home to Madison Square Garden.

🚨 More than 580 pounds of co***ne were seized outside a self-storage facility in Long Island City this week, the NYPD said Friday, calling it the department's largest co***ne bust in at least a decade.

The co***ne had a street value of more than $10 million, according to police, who said the bust stemmed from months of investigation with the DEA into a major trafficking network in New York and New Jersey linked back to a cartel.

The investigation took a major turn on Wednesday, when investigators followed a silver Nissan van from Manhattan to the storage facility at Northern Boulevard and 36th Avenue in Queens, police said.

🍿 AMC A-Listers have been crying out since learning of the Kips Bay location's end-of-year closure, and those complaints have spurred advocacy among some local leaders like New York State Assemblyman Keith Powers, who is seeking solutions to save the movie theater he said he attends regularly.

"We are doing everything we can to save the theater," he told 1010 WINS.

The AMC movie theater Kip's Bay 15, located at Second Avenue and 32nd Street, is expected to shut down after NYU Langone bought the property. Powers said he is working with the healthcare provider to find a solution.

"While we want the healthcare needs there, we want them to work with these tenants to be able to stay there for the long term," Powers said.

✈️ Americans’ airplane etiquette has taken a nosedive, according to a new survey out this week.

Clint Henderson, a managing editor with The Points Guy, a travel site that commissioned the survey of 2,500 U.S. adults, said 42% of respondents believed airplane behavior has gotten worse over the past five years.

He said noise was the biggest complaint, with 27% of those surveyed calling it the most annoying in-flight behavior. “People who are playing videos or movies on their phone or having phone calls without using headphones,” he said.

Over 50% of respondents said it’s only acceptable to recline your seat if you check with the person behind you first. Meanwhile, 11% of people said the middle-seat passenger should get both armrests.

The strongest consensus was with deplaning: 65% of people said passengers should get off row by row, front to back, with no one skipping ahead.

Dave, a New Yorker who travels a lot to California, said his biggest pet peeve is when people grip his seat to get up. “They pull,” he said. “Like they don't just walk up and have a brain or lean on their seat. They pull your seat in the front and grab it.”

President Donald Trump will reportedly be at the Pentagon, not in Lower Manhattan, to mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.

For many months leading up to the anniversary at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, families were told Trump would be on hand.

But the New York Times reported Thursday that Vice President JD Vance is expected to be in New York instead of Trump.

Sources told the Times that Trump was interested in speaking at the event, but politicians have been barred from doing so since 2012. Trump is expected to speak at the Pentagon ceremony instead, as he did last year.

Among those who are expected in New York City are former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Other dignitaries include Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Gov. Kathy Hochul, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
