New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was unable to contain his excitement as Jalen Brunson helped steer the New York Knicks to a 105-95 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Dart made waves on social media on Wednesday after attending Game 1 between the Knicks and Spurs in San Antonio. The Giants quarterback was spotted enjoying the game from a luxury suite alongside a mix of teammates and entertainers, quickly becoming an unexpected highlight of the night.
Among those seen with Dart were teammate Brian Burns and comedian Pete Davidson. The trio went viral after Dart posted a video on his Instagram Story celebrating with the two following the game.
In the viral footage, the second-year quarterback can be seen gleefully erupting and embracing those around him as Brunson’s dagger went in. He can also be heard shouting,
“Let’s f*g go!”
Dart’s girlfriend, Marissa Ayers, also posted a video of their private jet landing in San Antonio ahead of Game 1, along with Odell Beckham Jr.
Knicks celebrities flock to San Antonio to watch Game 1
Not only did Giants players travel to San Antonio to watch their beloved Knicks play, but a host of Knicks-loving celebrities also made the trip for Game 1. Hollywood stars Timothee Chalamet, Ben Stiller, and Spike Lee were all in attendance, along with Fat Joe and Tracy Morgan.
Despite falling behind by 14 points in the second half, New York was the better team for much of the night. The Knicks held Victor Wembanyama to just 6-of-21 shooting from the field and limited San Antonio to 32-of-89 shooting overall. Most importantly, New York continued to apply pressure and was eventually rewarded with the win.
Jalen Brunson finished the game with 30 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
The game is scheduled for Friday before the series heads back to New York, where the Knicks will be aiming to win their first championship since 1973.
