The Knicks finally ended their 18-game home losing streak Sunday night and then received a shout-out at the Oscars.
Shortly after New York upset the San Antonio Spurs, 130-118, at Madison Square Garden, Samuel L. Jackson took the stage at the Academy Awards in Hollywood and had a message for Knicks superfan Spike Lee, who was in attendance.

— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) February 25, 2019"After 18 consecutive home losses, the Knicks won tonight," Jackson said. "I repeat: The Knicks won tonight, defeating San Antonio 130-118," Jackson said.
It was just the 12th win of the season for New York, which trails only the Phoenix Suns in the race for the NBA's worst record.
Jackson's remarks drew a giggle from Lee, decked out in a purple suit and hat.
It was a winning night for Lee, too. He took home the Oscar for best adapted screenplay for "BlacKkKlansman."
