Knicks break Travis Kelces spirit after beer-chugging stunt falls flat

Travis Kelce tried to hype up the losing Cavaliers with a beer chug — in the end the Knicks wore down the Cavaliers and took the spirit of the energetic Kelce.Shortly before the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 121-108 Game 3 win over the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday night in Cleveland, the camera at Rocket Arena panned to Kelce downing a beer court side as the fans cheered him on.Once finished with the beverage, Kelce, an Ohio native, pulled his coat to the side and revealed a Cavaliers shirt and flashed his corresponding team hat to the camera.The camera then panned to his fiancee, pop superstar Taylor Swift, facepalming and shaking her head while her song “…Ready for it” played in the background.“I don’t know if his girlfriend is going to like seeing him chugging beers like that,” commentator Richard Jefferson said during the ESPN on ABC broadcast.Kelce’s stunt did not prove to help Cleveland in any way, who immediately gave up five points to start the fourth quarter.The Knicks wound up rolling past the Cavaliers to go up 3-0 in the series.
