Mariska Hargitay’s Unexpected Race from Broadway to Witness the Knicks’ Unbelievable Miracle—You Won’t Believe What Happened Next!

The SVU actress has been courtside at multiple games throughout the Knicks’ playoff run, largely due to her surprising relationship with star guard Jalen Brunson.

The former Villanova Wildcat grew up watching SVU with his dad, and now watches the show to calm himself down before games.

Through Brunson, Hargitay has gotten to know multiple Knicks and was seen hugging them on the court after they pulled off the largest comeback in NBA Finals history on Wednesday.

“The game was so brutal, down 29 at the half, but I’m telling you, to watch this team fight and claw their way back — to see that look in Jalen’s eyes — there are just endless life lessons in there,” Hargitay said.

“And then OG comes flying in, his orange and blue cape fluttering behind him, and then it’s just pandemonium.

“It‘ll get replayed again and again, not just as an epic moment in basketball, but on the highlight reel of the best moments in sports. And all I could think was ‘THAT JUST HAPPENED!!!’ And ‘OH MY GOD, I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!”’ And ‘OH MY GOD, I LOVE THIS CITY!!!’”
