The New York Knicks fans trooped to Madison Square Garden to cheer on their team against the Indiana Pacers in a pivotal Game 5. New York got whipped 121-89 on Monday and allowed Indiana to tie the series. A handful of A-listers are inside MSG to watch the action and to egg on the home team to continue holding the edge in the series.
One of those who sat at courtside was Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Billie Eilish. The “No Time To Die” hitmaker is a known New York fan and was greeted with cheers when she was featured on the big screen.
Basketball fans promptly reacted to her presence at courtside:
“So that’s why Brunsy ballin out”
A fan thought one of Brunson’s teammates would also have a big night:
“Josh Hart about to pop off”
Another fan declared what the actress’ smile was all about:
“Smile of victory.”
@FreddieSmithIII was out of words to describe her presence:
“Ok fire”
Jalen Brunson was indeed on fire tonight for Knicks fans. The lefty guard already had 28 points in just 22 minutes to go with four assists and two rebounds. He was the biggest reason the home team took a 69-54 lead before the halftime break.
Josh Hart was also invaluable in the first half for New York with a 12-point, eight-rebound and two-assist display. Hart was a big part of the hosts' dominance inside the paint, outscoring the Pacers 38-22. Although Tom Thibodeau had an undersized unit for most of the first half, it outrebounded Indiana 27-11, including 12-2 offensively.
Billie Eilish sometimes flaunts her Knicks merch on Instagram
Billie Eilish is quite adaptable when it comes to styles. Most of the time, she just rocks with almost any kind of attire and gear she has on. She also doesn't hesitate to flaunt what she has on Instagram.
On some occasions, she puts on some New York Knicks merch to accentuate her fandom. She did it during the 2023 Met Gala red carpet and displays it even on ordinary days just chilling out.
On Tuesday, she didn't wear something with the home team's name or color but she was rooting for Jalen Brunson and Co. She will be hoping Tom Thibodeau's squad manages to hold on to beat the Indiana Pacers to take a 3-2 series lead.
