The vibes were clearly sky high for the Knicks fans Tuesday night … after mounting one of the largest comebacks in NBA Playoff history.
N.Y. trailed Cleveland by 22 points with less than 8 minutes left … before going on a 30-8 run to force overtime.
Once in the extra period, the shellshocked Cavs were outscored 14-3, losing game 1, 115-104, in front of a star-studded crowd that included Timothee Chalamet, Lenny Kravitz, and Dustin Hoffman.
The Spurs, like the NYK, also won game 1 in overtime, beating the favored Thunder, 122-115.
Wemby was unstoppable, scoring 41 points (on 14 for 25 shooting), grabbing 24 rebounds, and blocking 3 shots.
Be careful what you wish for, Knicks fans.
