Ocasio-Cortez blames Trump for Knicks' loss in NBA Finals

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has criticized President Donald Trump for falling asleep during the third game of the NBA Finals, which was hosted by the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The game, which marked the Knicks' first home finals appearance since 1999, saw fans wait hours due to Trump's attendance. Ocasio-Cortez asserted that Trump's presence disrupted the environment, attributing the Knicks' defeat to him. While she claimed he jinxed the team, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand disagreed, stating the outcome cannot be blamed on superstition. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries also expressed frustration over Trump's involvement in the event.
