Celebrity row at Madison Square Garden was littered with stars once again for the New York Knicks’ showdown with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.
Diehard Knicks fans Ben Stiller and Timothee Chalamet were front and center once again as they cheered on their team during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
However, it appeared the Dune and Marty Supreme star’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner skipped the game after attending a number recently with her boyfriend. Chalamet debuted a new hair cut and appeared to have got rid of his mustache, too.
Among the other celebrities taking in the action at the iconic arena were Tracy Morgan, Spike Lee, Lenny Kravitz, Dustin Hoffman, Jimmy Fallon and Michael J. Fox.
The Knicks staged a dramatic fourth quarter comeback before beating the Cavaliers 115-104 in overtime.
Inspired by star player Jalen Brunson, who finished with 38 points, the Knicks overturned a 22-point down the stretch in front of a raucous Madison Square Garden crowd.

Reality TV star Jenner, 28, and Chalamet, 30, most recently packed on the PDA at a Knicks game on May 7 during their series against the 76ers.
The smitten pair shared a number of kisses in their front-row seats as they took breaks from the action unfolding on court, before the Knicks secured a 108-102 victory.
The outing came just days after Chalamet was branded a bad boyfriend for failing to support his girlfriend at the Met Gala. They have been dating since 2023.
He shunned the glitz and glamour at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, instead heading to watch his beloved Knicks earlier in the NBA playoffs.
It didn’t help that 12 months before, the Knicks superfan ditched her at the Met Gala again by sitting down with three guy friends in a hotel to cheer on their beloved team to victory against the Boston Celtics on an iPad.
Chalamet jetted back to New York in time for the game after he and Kylie enjoyed a double date with her sister, Kendall Jenner, and her rumored new boyfriend Jacob Elordi.
On Saturday, the quartet were spotted out sharing a car after leaving a part in Los Angeles. Kylie and Chalamet were in the back while Kendall and Elordi were in the front.
A source told People ‘they have a lot of fun together’ and have ‘similar personalities and lifestyles’ so they ‘all really get along’.

The Knicks are hoping to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 against Cleveland
After a record-setting run through the first two rounds of the postseason, the Knicks were going nowhere for 40 minutes against the Cavs, trailing 93-71 with 7:52 to play.
But Brunson relentlessly attacked James Harden to spark an 18-1 run and he tied it at 101-all on a basket with 19 seconds remaining in regulation.
The Knicks then opened overtime with a 9-0 run as a delirious crowd in Madison Square Garden danced and screamed in the aisles. The Knicks moved within three wins of their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999.
Mikal Bridges added 18 points and three Knicks scored 13, including OG Anunoby, who came on late after struggling most of the way in his return after missing two games with a strained right hamstring.
Donovan Mitchell scored 29 points for the Cavaliers, who seemed well on their way to a third straight road win before their late collapse.
The Knicks won their eighth straight game and will host Game 2 on Thursday.
