Giants Super Bowl champion Eli Manning was counted among the celebs who took in Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, taking a seat near the court alongside his wife and Yankees legend Derek Jeter. 

The trio was spotted walking to their seats before the Knicks’ 115-111 loss on Monday night, with wife Abby McGrew walking ahead of Manning and Jeter in the bowels of the home arena.

Manning was shown on the video board during the game, earning himself a roar from the MSG crowd. 

Some of New York sports’ biggest names joined Manning, aside from Jeter.

The Garden was flooded with familiar faces, including Alex Rodriguez, Rick Pitino, Francisco Lindor, John Franco, Juan Soto, Todd Zeile, Woody Johnson, Jonathan Quick, Adam Fox and Vincent Trocheck.

The Knicks celeb fans were hard to miss as well, with Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller — who was also joined by his wife Christine Taylor — Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey and “Law & Order” stars Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni.

The latter two had a major hiccup with their courtside seats throughout the game, as they were getting blocked by a referee.

Unfortunately for the home supporters on hand, the Knicks suffered their first loss in the postseason since their first-round series against the Hawks, putting an end to their 13-game win streak.

It also ends the Knicks’ first chance to close the series at home as the series goes to 2-1.

Following Game 4, the series will head to San Antonio on Saturday.

If necessary, the Garden will host Game 6, which is scheduled for Tuesday, June 16.
