Summary
Cardi B said Donald Trump’s presence at Monday’s Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals game made Madison Square Garden feel “kind of dark,” comparing it to “the principal” being in the building.
Trump’s attendance triggered heavy security, hour-plus entry delays and a canceled watch party over safety concerns, which many fans said undercut the celebratory mood before tipoff.
The Knicks then lost 115-111 to the Spurs, ending a 13-game winning streak and trimming New York’s best-of-seven Finals lead to 2-1.
Cardi B, who performed at halftime and attended with her 4-year-old son Wave, later joked that Trump “probably was” bad luck and urged fans to join a pregame prayer circle before Wednesday’s Game 4.
