While his favorite team, the New York Knicks, lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, Ben Stiller was uptown at the premiere of his new movie, Focker-in-Law.
That means he probably wasn't able to watch the game live during the festivities. He posted his usual “LET[‘]S GO KNICKS,” hype message before the game, but afterward, he just asked, “What happened[?]”
The Knicks' four-game winning streak was snapped by the Cavaliers on Wednesday night. They will have to forget the loss quickly, as they play the Indiana Pacers on Friday, Nov. 13.
The Cavaliers appeared to be on a mission in their game against the Knicks. They were embarrassed and swept in the Eastern Conference Finals earlier in the year.
Now, they improve to 6-6 while the Knicks drop to 6-5. New York has had a rocky start to the season as defending champions. They lost their first three games before winning six of their next seven. They will have a chance to start a new win streak on Friday.
