Lee, the team's premier fan, was joined courtside by actor David Duchovny, rapper Kanye West and shock jock Howard Stern, among other celebrities.

Also there to cheer on the New York team was NBA legend Magic Johnson, who was photographed fist-bumping with Lee.

The home team did not disappoint. Even with LeBron James, the star NBA player who chose the Heat over the Knicks earlier this year, and Dwayne Wade, the Heat were unable to hold off Knicks, falling 93-88.
