Knicks Lose Game 3 to Celtics Amid Celebrity Courtside Attendance

Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden attracted a star-studded crowd, including actor Timothée Chalamet and director Spike Lee, both avid Knicks fans who were seen courtside in full Knicks gear. Despite the celebrity presence, the Knicks were defeated 115-93 by the Celtics, though New York still leads the series 2-1. Chalamet, who recently made a red carpet debut with Kylie Jenner in Italy, has been increasingly visible at Knicks games this season and was joined by other notable fans such as Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, and former Knicks stars like Patrick Ewing and Walt Frazier. The Knicks' strong 2024-25 roster, featuring stars like Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, has helped propel the team to one of its best seasons in years, attracting high-profile attendees and raising ticket prices. The series continues with Game 4 at MSG, promising more celebrity appearances and intense playoff basketball. The combination of a successful Knicks team and a high-profile fan base has made these games a major event in New York City.
