With the New York Knicks winning their second game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, there is a high chance that the series might end in Indiana and not return to Madison Square Garden. So, multiple Hollywood celebrities, mainstream artists, and household names showed up to the Mecca of Basketball for Game 2 as they did not want to miss the opportunity of witnessing Jalen Brunson’s squad victorious.

Joining the NBA Celeb Row at MSG, rapper Ice Spice sat front row to witness the thrilling encounter and also took some time out to pose for the camera. Wearing a huge sparkle necklace likely covered in diamonds, Ice Spice mesmerized the crowd with her stunning look. Just a few seats down the line, sitting together were world-renowned comedian Chris Rock and timeless actor Ben Stiller. Unlike Ice Spice, Stiller and Rock went with a much more casual look, wearing almost similar bomber jackets and trousers along with some Nike kicks.

But those were not the only comedy geniuses in the house on Wednesday. Comedic duo Sam Morril and Chris Distefano also joined the crowd, and even delighted the Knicks fans with a wholesome picture. Even a few talented musicians also graced MSG with their presence including British DJ Mark Ronson and popular singer Mary J. Blige. Not only that, even legends from other sports made it to the arena to watch the Knicks and Pacers butt heads. MLB legend CC Sabathia and the New York Giants Quarterback Tommy DeVito were also present to witness the Knicks’ epic comeback.

Jalen Brunson and Co. didn’t disappoint

With so many celebrities taking out time to enjoy great playoff basketball, the Knicks vs. Pacers encounter didn’t disappoint. From multiple injuries to epic comebacks, Wednesday’s game was full of nail-biting drama. After both teams opened the game with similar energy and ended the opening quarter tied at thirty-six points, the Knicks suffered a devastating blow in the closing minutes of the first quarter as Jalen Brunson left the game due to a foot injury. With Brunson out for the entire second quarter, the Knicks struggled on both ends and got outscored by ten points.

But just as the energy started dropping at MSG, Brunson made a heroic return in the second half, causing the arena to erupt in a thundering roar. As soon as Brunson returned to the floor, the Knicks regained composure and scored double of what the Pacers scored in the third quarter. There was no looking back for the Knicks after that. Although the final quarter went neck and neck with the Knicks scoring one more point that Tyrese Haliburton’s squad, it was not enough for the Pacers to overcome the third quarter deficit.
