The Knicks will need to be on their A-game to close out the NBA Finals with their first title in 53 years.
And they will need some luck, including from a bag by Jordyn Woods.
Throughout the playoffs, the fiancée of Karl-Anthony Towns and founder of fashion line “Woods” has been carrying an orange bag that has proven to be a good luck charm.
Woods brought the bag to each game throughout the Knicks’ 13-0 playoff run until the team lost Game 3 of the Finals to the Spurs, she said while holding the bag as a clutch in a recent episode of “Are You Okay?” show.
However, she was not allowed to bring into the Garden for Game 3 due to rules surrounding President Donald Trump’s attendance.
She brought it back it for the thrilling Game 4 win.
Did she have it for Game 5 in San Antonio?
Of course.
Woods was spotted courtside ahead of the possible closeout game, wearing a Knicks jacket with the lucky bag worn on her as a crossbody as she said “Let’s go Knicks!”
The craze around Woods’ bag has grown throughout the series.
She has leaned into it, offering a giveaway of the “Tux Clutch Mini” this week.
Woods admitted to Vogue Magazine recently that the attention has been “amazing” but there is a lot of “pressure” that comes with it.
“My orange bag is getting so much attention — it’s amazing because it’s my brand — but it also feels like a lot of pressure,” she said. “Everyone kind of made it this phenomenon. And to be fair, we have won every game it’s been at except the Trump game, because I wasn’t able to bring my bag in, so I see why the phenomenon is there. But before Wednesday’s game, I saw three different big articles about my lucky bag! I’m like, ‘this is a lot of pressure!’”
Woods even released a shoe in the same shade as her bag ahead of the bag-less Game 3 as a replacement option to keep the vibes up for New York.
The undefeated streak of Woods’ bag was put to the test Saturday night at San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center, with a potential Game 6 looming back at the Garden on Tuesday.
