Timothee Chalamet, Suni Lee Take In Knicks-hawks Game 2 With Celebs, Franchise Icons Out In Full Force

The stars were out in full force at Madison Square Garden.

Celebrity row was a who’s who for Game 2 of the Knicks’ first-round NBA playoff series with the Hawks on Tuesday night. 

Knicks superfans Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor were courtside. They sat close to actress Julianne Moore and tennis legend John McEnroe. 

Spike Lee was in his usual seat, donning a No. 14 Pope Leo blue Knicks jersey – potentially hoping for a little help from above.

“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon was in the building along with comedian Ray Romano and rappers Fat Joe and Jadakiss. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee, who has become an MSG regular, was back for some more hoops.   

Knicks alumni Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Marcus Camby, Larry Johnson and Latrell Sprewell were back under the roof where they made plenty of playoff memories.

Two-time NBA champion and Knicks broadcaster Walt “Clyde” Frazier was in attendance with local networks no longer carrying the first round of the playoffs for the first time. Ex-Knick Stephon Marbury was also in taking in the action.

Mets owner Steve Cohen was seen courtside, along with former Amazin’s closer John Franco. 

NYC native and Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule also made the trip to the World’s Most Famous Arena. 

Jalen Brunson and the Knicks, who led 63-54 at the half, were hoping to deliver a commanding 2-0 lead in the series against the sixth-seed Hawks before things shift to Atlanta on Thursday night.
