The New York Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 94–90 in game five on Saturday to clinch the title for the first time in more than half a century.

The game was in Texas, but New Yorkers took to their hometown streets in droves to toast the milestone for fans and the city.

As crowds swelled into the early hours, gunfire rang out near Times Square, a 17-year-old was wounded and school buses that had transported World Cup fans were torched. It is unclear if anyone was hurt in that incident.

Knicks owner James Dolan had called for restraint following his team's victory against the Spurs in San Antonio on Saturday night.
