Timothee Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan and Fat Joe showed up at Rocket Arena for Game 4 as New York chased an Eastern Conference finals sweep.
Fat Joe told ESPN the Cavaliers voided the courtside seats he bought; the team said it was enforcing a rule against reselling first-row tickets.
The celebrity contingent still filled the building, with Chalamet taking selfies, Spike Lee greeting assistant coach Rick Brunson and Knicks alumni including Stephon Marbury and John Starks joining the trip.
Patrick Ewing and Walt "Clyde" Frazier were also on hand to present Jalen Brunson's MVP trophy, underscoring how heavily the road game drew New York's star supporters.
Cleveland's own celebrity presence remained visible after Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift attended the previous game, with Machine Gun Kelly backing the home team in a Guardians hat.
