There are many things that you can probably blame a loss on for an NBA team but this might be a first.
Last night, the New York Knicks lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder and one of the excuses for the loss that the Knicks provided was their hotel was haunted by ghosts.
We get more from the New York Daily News:
The Knicks were afraid, very afraid. And it had nothing to do with the Oklahoma City Thunder.To be honest, words cannot describe the awesome of this story but I think we need to get Mystery Inc. on the case.
For two days, several players had trouble sleeping because they were convinced that their downtown hotel is haunted.
"I definitely believe it," Jared Jeffries said. "The place is haunted. It's scary."
Eddy Curry claims he slept for only two hours Sunday night because he couldn't stop thinking about ghosts roaming the hotel.
For years, guests staying at the Skirvin Hilton have reported ghost sightings and strange noises. Legend has it that sometime in the 1930s, a woman jumped to her death while holding her baby in her hands.
"They said it happened on the 10th floor and I'm the only one staying on the 10th floor," Curry said. "That's why I spent most of my time in (Nate Robinson's) room. I definitely believe there are ghosts in that hotel."
