Cavs watch parties set for road playoff games vs. Knicks
CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cleveland Cavaliers will host watch parties when the team is on the road in its first-round playoff series against New York.
Games 3 and 4 will be in Madison Square Garden. Fans in Cleveland can head to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse to catch the games on the big screen:
Game 3: 8:30 p.m. Friday, April 21.
Game 4: 1 p.m. Sunday, April 23.
If necessary, Game 6 is scheduled to be played in New York on Friday, April 28.
Arena doors for the watch parties will open one hour prior to tipoff.
Admission is $5 with proceeds supporting Habitat for Humanity. Go to Cavs.com/watchparties. A six-ticket limit per person will be in place. If there is a conflict for Game 3 because of a potential Cleveland Monsters playoff game, a refund will be credited to the purchaser’s account.
The watch parties will include on-court entertainment, pregame skills challenges for fans, player-introduction videos, t-shirt tosses – all the trappings of a regular home game without the players on the court.
