Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni teamed up to cheer on the New York Knicks during Monday night’s game.
The “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” co-stars sat courtside together for the NBA Finals Game 3 at Madison Square Garden as the San Antonio Spurs beat the New York-based team.
The actress, 62, showed her support for the team with a Knicks jersey over a long-sleeve white shirt.
She completed her look with white eyelet pants and tennis shoes, while Meloni paired a Knicks pullover with jeans and sneakers.
Before the Texas team beat the Knicks 115 to 111, Hargitay and Meloni, 65, were spotted hugging on the Jumbotron.
At another point during the game, the Golden Globe winner stood with her hands raised in excited fists.
Hargitay appeared on the “Today” show hours before to gush over her love of the professional basketball team — specifically, point guard Jalen Brunson.
“I love him,” she told viewers Monday. “He is so singular and magnificent. He is a magnificent human.”
The Emmy winner even thought of the athlete, 29, while prepping for her “Every Brilliant Thing” Broadway role.
“I just thought about him and his inspiration and his humility and his work ethic, to say, ‘You can do hard things. No matter what, you can do hard things,’” Hargitay explained.
She, notably, texted Brunson after the Knicks emerged victorious against the Spurs in Game 1 last week, he revealed on “NBA Today.”
Hargitay and Meloni are longtime Knicks fans — and previously made headlines for attending a game together in April 2025.
The pair, who play Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler onscreen, respectively, held hands while watching last year’s matchup.
They have co-starred on “Law & Order: SVU” since 1999. Although Meloni exited the show in 2011, he has returned for multiple episodes.
The Emmy nominee later took his beloved character to the “Law & Order: Organized Crime” spinoff, which was recently cancelled after five seasons.
He and Hargitay’s characters once filmed a kissing scene, which creator Dick Wolf cut — a choice the cast members “disagreed” with.
“We thought that it was earned and the way it was dealt with was really complex and very beautiful and very human and showed the complexity of their relationship and all the different ways that they’re connected,” Hargitay told the Hollywood Reporter in April.
She and Meloni are both married offscreen to actor Peter Hermann and production designer Sherman Williams, respectively.
