I’m not a sports-minded guy. We were watching The Strange Woman (dir. Edgar G. Ulmer, 1946) last night when I remembered that there was a Knicks game happening — that is to say, an NBA Finals game. We paused the movie and got to watch the last five minutes. The curse that had fallen upon the Knicks in Monday’s game (part of which I had watched) was broken.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

My time as a dedicated Knicks fan was back in the Reed-Bradley-DeBusschere-Frazier-Barnett days. Watching last night made me remember how a game can turn in seconds.
Last two minutes heart-stopping. (Even the present occupant woulda stayed woke)

At some point: that is, while watching on Wednesday night.
