Weekly Highlights: Success Stories and Setbacks

In the world of sports, the New York Knicks have made a significant comeback, advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. The team secured their spot after a thrilling victory over the Boston Celtics.

Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Eric Adams took a leap of faith, prematurely co-naming city streets in honour of the Knicks before their first game against the Indiana Pacers.

On the political front, Representative Andrew Garbarino found himself in an unusual situation when he missed the biggest vote in this Congress. The reason for his absence? He fell asleep.

In a separate incident, New Jersey traffic lasted several hours last weekend due to an agreement between NJ Transit and the transit workers union. The details of this agreement, however, remain undisclosed.

In the realm of city administration, the first deputy mayor in New York City, currently unnamed, is using an iPhone with a keyboard attachment for service. Previously, the lawyer who held this position, Rudolph William Louis "Rudy" Giuliani III, was known for his use of various communication devices, but the number of phones he had is not stated in the available information.

Interestingly, the number of phones Randy Mastro, a notable figure, has remains unknown.

Lastly, the Knicks' journey to the Eastern Conference Finals is a testament to their resilience and determination. Their victory over the Boston Celtics will no doubt go down in the annals of basketball history.
