Celebrities including Taylor Swift watch Knicks rally to 3-1 series lead in NBA Finals

New York Knicks fans in the celebrity section saw a historic comeback on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, as the Knicks rallied from 29 points down to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The win gave New York a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-seven series, with Game 5 scheduled for Saturday in San Antonio.

Among the courtside attendees were singer Taylor Swift, who sat with Alana and Este Haim and actress Mariska Hargitay, all wearing custom Knicks shirts. Swift’s shirt read “Stevie Knicks,” a reference to Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks.

Regular NBA-finals visitors Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Ben Stiller, Timothée Chalamet (with girlfriend Kylie Jenner), Larry David and former tennis champion John McEnroe were joined by additional guests including Adam Sandler, Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan, Hailey Bieber, Tate McRae, Cardi B, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Jimmy Fallon.

The series has drawn a notable celebrity presence throughout the matchup. In Game 1 in San Antonio, fans such as Lee, Stiller, Morgan, Chalamet, John Turturro and Fat Joe watched the Knicks overcome a 14-point deficit. After that game, Chalamet said, “That was a big one.”

Game 2 saw the same group return, with Victor Wembanyama missing a potential game-winning shot. Chalamet later remarked, “Two more to go.”

Game 3 returned to Madison Square Garden, featuring a broader list of attendees that included Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Tracy Morgan, Timothée Chalamet, John McEnroe, Larry David, Tina Fey, Mariska Hargitay, Jay-Z, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Michael Bloomberg and Fat Joe. Former President Donald Trump attended as a guest of Knicks owner James Dolan, marking the first time a sitting U.S. president was present at an NBA Finals game.

The Knicks now lead the series 3-1 and will look to close it out in the upcoming game in San Antonio.
