What happened: ESPN highlighted celebrity row at Madison Square Garden for Game 2 of the 76ers-Knicks Eastern Conference playoff series. Among those spotted courtside were Jason Bateman, Sam Rockwell, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet, per Page Six. The Knicks entered the game holding a 1-0 series lead after routing Philadelphia in the opener.

Why it matters: MSG's celebrity row has long been a cultural fixture of Knicks postseason runs, amplifying the spotlight on a franchise that hasn't had a deep playoff stretch in decades. With Philadelphia missing Joel Embiid, the matchup leans on Paul George, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris to keep the series competitive. The atmosphere underscores how big a moment this Knicks playoff push has become for the New York market.

What to watch: Watch whether the Knicks can take a commanding 2-0 lead at home before the series shifts to Philadelphia. George's early production (11 first-quarter points) will be a key swing factor.
