Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics was a star-studded affair.

In addition to the superstar athletes on the court competing for the title, several star players on the Philadelphia Eagles were in attendance at the TD Garden.

According to a release put out by the NBA, Eagles players including Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Brandon Graham, Darius Slay, and Jordan Mailata were all in attendance for the game, as was team owner Jeffrey Lurie.

While the cities of Boston and Philadelphia hold many rivalries across the sporting world, several Eagles hold a connection to the Celtics, with Lurie and Smith both growing up fans of Boston basketball, according to Zach Berman of PHLY

The Celtics won Game 1 of the NBA Finals 107–89.
