The Knicks victory is extra sweet, thanks to a local sandwich owner.
G’s Cheesesteaks is dishing up free sandwiches Monday morning after owner Giacomo Pisano said last week that fans would be rewarded with free cheesesteak sandwiches if New York swept the series against Philadelphia.
“If the Knicks sweep the Sixers, we’re doing free cheesesteaks at every location. You heard it here first,” Pisano told NBC New York’s Kay Angrum live on air.
On Sunday night, the team pulled through.
The Knicks took a commanding lead over the Sixers in Game 4, finishing 144-114 to sweep the series and move on to the Eastern Conference finals.
Knicks fans on both sides of the Hudson can cash in on the free cheesesteak offer: G’s has locations in the Lower East Side and in Toms River, New Jersey.
The sandwich giveaway starts Monday at 11 a.m.
Don’t be shocked if you don’t see a Philly cheesesteak on the menu, though. During the series, G’s renamed their star menu item to “Knicks steak.”
The Knicks hold off the 76ers 108-102 in a tight Game 2 battle to take a 2-0 series lead.
