New York Knicks fans are calling it the “Trump Curse.”
The phrase was coined after the Knicks lost to the San Antonio Spurs Monday evening in Game 3 of the NBA Finals — a game attended by President Donald Trump.
The loss ended the 13-game and 46-day winning streak the Knicks had going into the game.
The Spurs took the “W” in Monday’s game, 115-111.
Trump already miffed some fans and local New Yorkers when he decided to attend the game, which forced the cancellation of a watch party outside Madison Square Garden.
The watch party was cancelled because of the Secret Service’s security perimeter. Several blocks around Madison Square Garden were closed “to most pedestrian and vehicular traffic,” a “strict no-bag policy” was enforced. Fans were also told to arrive at least two hours early.
Then, Trump when he was shown on the Jumbotron during the singing of the national anthem.
