76ers star guard Tyrese Maxey hit an unbelievable shot against the Knicks that devastated New York fans, including Tracy Morgan and Ben Stiller.
Many former players and celebrities attended this crucial game at Madison Square Garden. While the improbable Philadelphia comeback shocked comedian Jon Stewart (who later had a hilarious tweet about it), none seemed angrier after Maxey’s heroics than Morgan and Stiller.
Take a look at the replay of Maxey’s celebration and see if you can spot the pure rage and vitriol from Morgan, the comedian who is widely known for his work on 30 Rock:

In case you didn’t catch Morgan’s rage in the video above, perhaps a screenshot will help.
Morgan seemed genuinely upset at Maxey and even gave him a middle finger:

But sitting next to Morgan was Stiller, the Emmy Award-winning actor and comedian.
Take a look again and this time just focus on Stiller, who manifested his anger in a much different way:
yeah Tracy Morgan is flipping him off but has anyone noticed Ben Stiller hissing at Maxey like a cat pic.twitter.com/QevTGssYVF

After the game, like Stewart did, Stiller tweeted out his respect for Maxey.
He also predicted that the Knicks will finish the series up in Philadelphia.
Respect to Maxey.
We should have had it.
Will finish it in Philly.
