Trailing the San Antonio Spurs 76-49 at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, New York faced a massive deficit and little reason for optimism. Then Wu-Tang Clan took the floor.
The legendary Staten Island group performed a halftime set featuring several of its biggest hits while decked out in Knicks colors, Yahoo reports. By the end of the night, fans were connecting the performance to one of the most remarkable comebacks in NBA history.
New York rallied from 29 points down to defeat San Antonio 107-106, setting a new NBA Finals record for the largest comeback ever.
Ben Stiller Credits Wu-Tang for Turning the Tide
After the game, several celebrities jokingly claimed responsibility for the turnaround. A$AP Rocky called himself the Knicks' "good luck charm," while Fat Joe suggested his courtside antics may have helped Victor Wembanyama miss two key free throws late in the contest.

Longtime Knicks fan Ben Stiller had another theory.
The actor shared a clip of Wu-Tang Clan's halftime performance on social media and simply wrote: "The start of the comeback."
Given Stiller's decades-long connection to the franchise, the comment quickly resonated with fans looking for an explanation behind the dramatic shift.
Whether it was the music, the energy inside Madison Square Garden or simply a coincidence, Wu-Tang Clan's performance is now tied to one of the greatest wins in Knicks history.
New York will look to carry that momentum into Game 5 on Saturday. Meanwhile, Wu-Tang Clan returns to its Final Chamber Tour in August before its Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction later this year.
