Double, double, Knicks won’t struggle; the Garden roars, and Pacers will crumble.
Knicks fans left no stone unturned ahead of Game 5’s 111-94 victory over the Pacers, employing a witch to conjure up some spirits to curse the Pacers ahead of a potential elimination game Thursday.
X user @vohit4rohit posted on X that he paid a witch on Etsy $8.48 to curse the Pacers and give the Knicks an extra edge.
“Knicks fans – I just paid a witch on Etsy to cast a spell to help us win game 5 tonight,” the X user said. “I’m doing my part.”
ESPN host and Knicks fan Stephen A. Smith expressed his appreciation after the Game 5 win, responding to the post on X with: “Thank you for your efforts.”
The shop on Etsy, known as “Aurora Priestess,” claims to offer same-day spell casting, powerful and fast manifestation ritual and magical personal witchcraft, among other things.
The Priestess says they are a “devoted conduit of ancient magic.”
Twenty-seven people purchased spells from the witch in the last 24 hours, with the X user promising to pay her again ahead of Saturday’s Game 6.
The Priestesses’ Etsy shop page shows the video of her workstation with candles all around and some sort of potpourri combination on a desk.
Her account also includes pictures of ancient-looking cards, one of which shows the “Wheel of Fortune” and other ancient signs.
The Game of Thrones-like character has 2,100 reviews and sparkling recommendations for those looking to conjure magic from another world to achieve powerful change.
The Knicks will need every bit of luck, magic, spirit mongering or any other non-conventional tactics to secure a win in Game 6 at Indiana.
The Pacers were blown out of the Knicks’ building in Game 5, as Tom Thibodeau’s group showed off some strong defense that allowed Indiana to shoot just 40.5 percent from the field.
Or perhaps it had nothing to do with the Knicks’ strong defense and more to do with witchcraft putting a lid on the basket.
Tyrese Haliburton had his worst performance of the series Thursday, putting up just eight points and six assists on 2 of 7 shooting in 32 minutes.
