BASKETBALL fans were left more interested in the crowd than they were in the game when the New York Knicks took on the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern conference playoffs.
Normally playoff basketball is the talk of the town, but after Game 4 between the Pistons and the Knicks it was a fan that had most fans online chatting.

That was after the internet was sent into a frenzy by a female fan watching on from the bleachers.
The dark haired woman had fans losing their minds on social media as her slicked back bun and sleeve tattoos proved more interesting than the game.
On X, one fan wrote: “Knicks win, cool. But who is this?”
While another added: “We’re all thinking the same thing. The camera man knew what he was doing”.
A third commented: “We should thank the camera man”.
A fourth simply posted “WOW!”
And a fifth gushed: “Her tattoos are crazy beautiful”.
Fans online were scrambling to try and find out who the mysterious court side woman was.
The playoffs appear to be a hotbed for eye-catching fans as another “stunning” supporter was spotted in the stands during the Los Angeles Lakers matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Meanwhile the action on the court was certainly exciting too.
The Knicks managed a narrow 94-93 victory over the Pistons at Little Caesars Arena to extend their lead to 3-1 in the first round of the Eastern Conference play offs.
The Knicks now have the opportunity to book their spot in the next round with a win at Madison Square Garden tonight.
But their victory in Detroit was marred by a the officials’ controversial decision not to call a foul after Tim Hardaway Jr. drew contact from New York’s Josh Hart in the game’s final play.
A potential game-winning shot with just 0.3 seconds on the clock went begging and Timberwolves supporters were fuming that they weren’t going to get a chance from the free-throw line.
Even Hart admitted to making contact with Hardaway Jr. after the game.
While lead official David Guthrie conceded that his crew should have awarded a foul in a post-game interview.
He said: “During live play, it was judged that Josh Hart made a legal defensive play.
“After postgame review, we observed that Hart makes body contact that is more than marginal to Hardaway Jr., and a foul should have been called.”
