The Boston Celtics waged a mighty battle with the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs last night at TD Garden and came out victorious with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown’s magical performances. However, Boston not only witnessed the duo showcasing their flair but also Superbad actor, Christopher Mint-Plasse aka McLovin. Mint-Plasse seemingly became the center of attention last night after he was spotted sitting courtside with a special someone. Their presence grabbed fans’ attention and prompted them to react on social media.

Superbad, directed by Greg Mottola is a coming-of-age teen buddy comedy film that hit the screens in 2007 and went on to become a cult classic. Veteran actors like Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Bill Hader, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse played instrumental roles in the film. Moreover, the film performed pretty well at the box office as it grossed over $170 million on a budget below $20 million.

Brown and Tatum showed up big last night and they were certainly the best players on the hardwood. Tatum wrapped up the 112-99 win over the Atlanta Hawks with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and two assists. Brown, on the other hand, finished with 29 points, 12 rebounds, and three assists. However, their performances were apparently overshadowed by the presence of Mintz-Plasse.

A post shared by Bleacher Report reveals that Minzt-Plasse was sitting courtside during the Celtics vs Hawks game but he was not alone. His fiancée, Britt Bowman was with him. The post contains two photos: the 33-year-old actor pointing at the ring on his fiancée’s finger, and him showing a thumbs-up sign to the camera.
