The \u201cLaw & Order: SVU\u201d actress was ecstatic as she and Brunson, who finished with a game-high 36 points, hugged on the court. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love you so much, I\u2019m so happy!\u201d Hargitay said. <\/p>\n

Before that, she sprinted onto the court and hugged Brunson\u2019s father, Rick Brunson, an assistant to Knicks head coach Mike Brown and member of the 1999 New York Knicks team that reached the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

The moment was captured on video by actor Ben Stiller, a fellow diehard Knicks fan who last season described Hargitay as the \u201cenvy\u201d or celebrity row.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe love that Mariska Hargitay gets from you postgame is the envy of every other Knicks fan, Knicks celebrity fan. She gets a hug after a loss,\u201d Stiller said on Brunson\u2019s \u201cRoommates\u201d podcast with Josh Hart.<\/p>\n

She previously said the two became friends when they learned they were fans of each other.<\/p>\n

Hargitay sat with her friend, superstar singer Taylor Swift, and singing sisters, Este Haim and Alana Haim, at Game 4 \u2014 and they wore matching blue and orange shirts with \u201cStevie Knicks\u201d written on them.<\/p>\n
