\n\tMariska Hargitay<\/a> is such a devoted Knicks fan<\/a> that she decided to sprint to Madison Square Garden after a two-show day on Broadway<\/a> to make it to the 8:30 p.m. ET game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI took four minutes off the running time of my show, and I knew the traffic would be crazy, so I sprinted from the Hudson Theater on 44th and 6th to MSG,\u201d Hargitay writes in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. \u201cBut I knew everything was going to be alright, because I was wearing my Jalen Brunson Kobe 5 Protos that Jalen gave me a few months ago. But I\u2019m not gonna lie, the ten block sprint after a 2-show day was no joke.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHargitay is currently starring in Every Brilliant Thing, a one-person show that had a 2 p.m. matinee and a 7 p.m. evening performance Wednesday. The play ended at 8:27 p.m ET Thursday night. She\u2019s making her Broadway debut <\/a>in the show, after taking over the role from Daniel Radcliffe.\u00a0 But the SVU star has also been a fervent supporter of the Knicks, and in particular Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, with whom she has developed a close friendship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tShe was spotted courtside at Thursday\u2019s Knicks game, donning a \u201cStevie Knicks\u201d shirt that she appears to have received from her seatmate, Taylor Swift, who was in matching garb. She later joyously ran onto the court to hug the players after the Knicks pulled off the largest comeback in NBA Finals history, ending the game 107 to 106 against the Spurs thanks to a one-handed tip-in from the Knick\u2019s OG Anunoby.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI love my husband, and our wedding night was great and all, but I think it might have been the greatest night of my life,\u201d Hargitay says. \u201cThe game was so brutal, down 29 at the half, but I\u2019m telling you, to watch this team fight and claw their way back \u2014\u00a0to see that look in Jalen\u2019s eyes \u2014 there are just endless life lessons in there. And then OG comes flying in, his orange and blue cape fluttering behind him, and then it\u2019s just pandemonium. It\u2018ll 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 \u201cTHAT JUST HAPPENED!!!\u201d And \u201cOH MY GOD, I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!\u201d And \u201cOH MY GOD, I LOVE THIS CITY!!!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mariska Hargitay is such a devoted Knicks fan that she decided to sprint to Madison Square Garden after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":698443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[21540,236,88,51129,361],"class_list":["post-698442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-broadway","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-mariska-hargitay","tag-new-york-knicks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=698442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/698443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=698442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=698442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=698442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
