MIDTOWN — At least they weren't screaming “Wilson!”

With not much to cheer about during the Knicks 124-86 loss to the Sacramento Kings Tuesday night, fans turned their attention to actor Tom Hanks, who was sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden.

The crowd could be heard chanting “Tom Hanks” while the team was down big in the second quarter.

Hanks appears to take the chanting in stride, even smirking a little bit.

“That shows you how bad this game is going,” announcer Mike Breen said with the team down 118 to 81. “The Knicks fans are bored.”

The loss was the Knicks' 47th of the season.
