The first game of the Knicks-Celtics series at the Garden brought the usual celebrity faces.
As the Knicks fell 115-93 to the defending champs, their hardcore fans took up much of celebrity row.
After watching the last game in Rome, actor Timothée Chalamet made sure to make the trip to New York for Game 3, and he was dressed in a blue Knicks matching set complete with a hat.
Chalamet was in Italy, where he and girlfriend Kylie Jenner made their red carpet debut at the David di Donatello Awards.
He had been posting to his Instagram story throughout the series to document his watch parties.
The Academy Award nominee even skipped the Met Gala in New York on Monday to watch the Knicks’ 108-105 comeback victory in Game 1, while Jenner walked the red carpet solo.
Not far down from Chalamet were actors and noted Knicks fans Tracy Morgan and Ben Stiller.
Stiller naturally did what he does in posting about the Knicks on X before the game, uploading videos of P.J. Tucker and Mikal Bridges during lineup announcements to get hyped for the game.
However, not much was said on X during a blowout at the Garden.
New York favorite Spike Lee also made an appearance — decked out in the usual blue and orange.
And, of course, some franchise greats made their way onto the scene in what might be the Knicks’ best chance to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000.
Ex-Knicks star and current MSG analyst Walt Frazier was on hand in a cow print suit, along with fellow former Knicks Patrick Ewing and Bill Bradley.
Some other New York sports faces were in the house as well, including Mets owner Steve Cohen and newly appointed Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan.
Other notables included Sting, Bad Bunny, Adam Scott, Fat Joe, CC Sabathia, Jon Hamm, Alec Baldwin and former Giants stars Eli Manning, Justin Tuck and Michael Strahan.
The Garden will host Game 4 of the second-round series on Monday before Game 5 switches back to Boston on Wednesday.
