The A-list couple of New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson and his pop-star wife Ciara were among the big names on the Knicks’ celebrity row for their playoff opener against the Pistons.

Ciara and Wilson watched as Manhattan’s basketball team went on a late-game 21-0 run to flip the game and win Game 1 of its Eastern Conference playoff series over Detroit. 

Also sat on celebrity row was the typical face of comedians Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan, alongside tennis legend John McEnroe, as well as famous musician Sting. 

Sting and Stiller were sat next to each other, inches from where all of the action took place at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

The Knicks’ celebrity row has become the place to be during certain times of the year, with Christmas Day and the playoffs being at the top. 

With the glitzy nature of New York City, and having Madison Square Garden in the most touristy area of Manhattan, celebrities are constantly present at Knicks and Rangers games.

Wilson and Ciara have been married since 2016 and should have more of a presence in New York City since the 36-year-old quarterback signed with the Giants last month. 

They watched as the Knicks trailed for the majority of Saturday afternoon’s game, trailing by eight at one point in the fourth quarter. 

Then came the momentous 21-0 run with the score starting at 98-90. By the time it was 109-90, the game had essentially been called for the Knicks.  

The Pistons were playing in their first playoff game since 2019 and looking to end a 14-game postseason losing streak. 

Detroit will have to wait until Monday night’s Game 2 to try and buck that awful trend. 

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks in scoring with 34 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby followed with 23 points each.  

Tobias Harris led the Pistons with 25 but only scored three points in the second half.
