After overcoming a 29-point deficit in Wednesday night’s game four of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, pop star Selena Gomez went to social media to leave her thoughts on the game.
Gomez was seen posing alongside two of her friends while rocking a Spurs jersey at Madison Square Garden, letting fans know she was just a little heartbroken.
“Happy for NY but my heart breaks just a lil lol,” Gomez wrote. “It’s okay. I’m happy for the team! Thanks for giving us some great games @NBA.”
A little bit of heartbreak and witnessing a great game is exactly what capsulized Wednesday night’s game as OG Anunoby made the shot of the season for the Knicks, to give them a 107-106 victory over the Spurs, putting them ahead 3-1 in the NBA Finals.
With just seconds left in the game, Jalen Brunson fired back for a three-point shot, only for the ball to bounce off the rim and miss. With the anticipation of a rebound, Anunoby sped across the floor from the opposite 3-point line from Brunson and got in the paint to tip the ball into the net and seal New York the victory, leaving 1.2 seconds on the clock.
After the shot, all of Madison Square Garden and the city of New York erupted in cheers, celebrating the largest comeback to take place in NBA Finals history, leaving the Knicks just one game away from winning their first NBA Finals since 1973.
Madison Square Garden was packed out with celebrities attending, as Taylor Swift, Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, and Spike Lee were all in attendance rooting on the Knicks, while Gomez was the lone known celebrity in attendance rooting for the Spurs.
