Not Zo\u2019 fast Mam!<\/p>\n
Mayor Zohran Mamdani jumped the gun on celebrating the New York Knicks\u2019 playoff birth with an art display in City Hall.<\/p>\n
Hours after the Knicks\u2019 homage went up in the lobby Monday, the team fell in dramatic fashion to the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> while playing at home at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n Mamdani\u2019s art display went up the day the Knicks lost to the Atlanta Hawks. Paul Martinka for NY Post<\/p>\n AP<\/p>\n The Hawks pulled off the win by a single point, 107-106.<\/p>\n The series is now tied 1-1, with the Knicks headed to Atlanta for two games.<\/p>\n Did the curse of the Mambino hit the New York Knicks as well?<\/p>\n This went up yesterday, hours before the Knickerbockers lost by one point to the Atlanta Hawks. pic.twitter.com\/1jT7C3q0u0<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Craig McCarthy (@createcraig) April 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n The heartbreaker comes as Mets fans put their 11-game losing streak on Hizzoner, blaming him for cursing the team with a mascot hug in early April. The team lost 10 straight games <\/a>after the photo opp, sparking comparisons to the infamous \u201cCurse of the Bambino\u201d that supposedly sparked an 86-year championship drought for the Boston Red Sox when they sold Babe Ruth to the rival New York Yankees.<\/p>\n The cardboard cutouts were erected at city hall.
