Cardi was tardy! But she made it just in the Knick of time.

Cardi B showed up to Game 5 of the Knicks’ playoff series against the 76ers with just three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Page Six hears — because her chest “bust out” of her top on the way to Madison Square Garden.

Sources tell us the “WAP” rapper’s mishap had her scrambling back to her closet to get fixed up while her husband, Offset, continued on to catch the big game from the beginning.
