There were dozens upon dozens of celebrities at Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. And not a single one of them were having more fun than Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay, an undeniable true fan of the team.

Madison Square Garden’s “celebrity row” and beyond were packed with celebrities on Wednesday night, with the likes of Timothee Chalamet, Taylor Swift, Spike Lee, Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Adam Sandler, Kylie Jenner, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, the Wu-Tang Clan, Fat Joe, Kit Harington, Tate McRae, Michael J. Fox, Liam Neeson, Hailey Bieber, Jimmy Fallon, Rainn Wilson, Whoopi Goldberg, Marcus Mumford, Keke Palmer, Nina Dobrev, Penn Badgley, Jeremy Strong,  and more reportedly in attendance.

Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay went through a roller coaster of emotions during and after the Knicks Game 4 win

Of all those high-profile attendees, Hargitay’s celebrations stood out above the rest, as she ran through a gamut of emotions during and after the Knicks’ historic comeback win, with the 29-point deficit they overcame being the largest comeback in the history of the NBA Finals.

During the game, as the Knicks mounted their furious comeback, she was celebrating with Taylor Swift and co., who also gifted her one of their “Stevie Knicks” t-shirts.

After the historic win, Hargitay was seen staggering around the court in a state of shock.

She celebrated with franchise star Jalen Brunson, telling him she loved him — Brunson led the Knicks in scoring with 36 points (12-25 shooting, 3-7 from the 3-pt line), seven assists and five rebounds.

And leapt into the arms of Jalen’s father Rick Brunson after the final whistle.

The Knicks are now one win away from winning the franchise’s first NBA championship since 1973. Heading into Game 5 in San Antonio — tipping off at 8:30 p.m. EST on Saturday, June 13 — the Knicks are 5.5-point underdogs against the Spurs, who face a win-or-go-home scenario.
