Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks rose from a 20-point deficit in the first half to take their first win in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers in Game 3 on Sunday. The Knicks used a massive fourth-quarter storm to overcome the Pacers for the first time in the series, avoiding a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 hole.
One of the fans who celebrated the Knicks’ Game 3 win was La La Anthony, the ex-wife of former New York superstar Carmelo Anthony. La La posted a video on Instagram story of the Knicks’ logo being shown on a screen inside a club.
La La didn't specify where the video was recorded, but beats were heard in the venue as the crowd cheered for the Knicks in Game 3.

“All of us are just trying to do whatever it takes to win, get ourselves back in the game. We wanted to put ourselves in a position to where at the end of the game we found ourselves with a chance of winning,” Towns added.
