Timothée Chalamet celebrated like a true diehard Knicks fan after New York pulled off one of the most shocking wins in NBA Finals history. Following the Knicks’ dramatic 107-106 comeback victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 on Wednesday night, the Oscar-nominated actor was spotted jumping into the chaos at Madison Square Garden, grabbing a reporter’s microphone, screaming alongside fans, and eventually ripping his shirt off during the celebration. The Knicks’ win gave New York a commanding 3-1 series lead after overcoming a staggering 29-point deficit.
Timothée Chalamet Takes Over Knicks Celebration
In footage shared on social media, Chalamet could be seen fully embracing the madness inside Madison Square Garden as fans erupted following the dramatic finish. At one point, the Dune actor grabbed a reporter’s microphone and shouted excitedly with the crowd. “Let’s f-cking go!” Chalamet yelled into the mic before laughing and admitting, “I don’t even know what camera’s going.”
The actor also gave a shoutout to Knicks player OG Anunoby, who secured the game-winning basket with just one second left on the clock.
Ben Stiller eventually joined Chalamet in the celebration, with the pair seen jumping up and down among thrilled Knicks fans. Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner documented much of the chaos from nearby, filming her boyfriend’s over-the-top reaction with a smile on her face.
Chalamet Went Shirtless During The Post-Game Chaos
The celebration did not stop there. In another viral video circulating online, Chalamet took things to another level by going shirtless while celebrating with a crowd of Knicks fans.
The actor ripped off both his oversized Chrome Hearts denim jacket and white T-shirt as the excitement intensified. At one point, his jeans even began slipping low enough to reveal his black underwear as he ran through the crowd.
Jenner could once again be seen nearby laughing and recording the moment on her phone.
Madison Square Garden Turned Into A Celebrity Hotspot
Game 4 was packed with A-list faces watching the historic comeback unfold. Among those in attendance were Taylor Swift, Tracy Morgan, Mariska Hargitay, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Rock, Scooter Braun, Sydney Sweeney, and Spike Lee.
Jenner and Swift were even spotted sharing a warm embrace courtside after the final buzzer, despite Swift’s highly publicized feud with Jenner’s sister, Kim Kardashian.
The tension between Swift and Kardashian dates back nearly a decade to the fallout surrounding Kanye West’s song “Famous,” which included controversial lyrics about the Grammy winner. Kardashian later released edited phone call footage between Swift and West, fueling a years-long public feud that frequently played out online and in headlines.
Timothée Chalamet Has Been A Knicks Superfan For Years
Chalamet’s passionate reaction likely came as no surprise to longtime fans. The actor has been front and center supporting the Knicks throughout their playoff run and even skipped the 2026 Met Gala with Jenner last month to watch New York face the Philadelphia 76ers. The pair have also turned several playoff games into date nights, including a sweet courtside moment during the Eastern Conference semifinals in May.
Chalamet was equally emotional during Game 3 earlier this week, when cameras captured him standing and shouting in frustration as the Knicks fell to the Spurs 115-111.
Wednesday night, however, was an entirely different story. The New York Knicks made NBA Finals history, storming back from a 29-point deficit to edge out the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4. The dramatic win gives New York a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, with a chance to clinch the championship Saturday in San Antonio.
Knicks Coach Mike Brown Praises Jose Alvarado After Historic Comeback
While stars packed Madison Square Garden and fans celebrated the historic win, Knicks head coach Mike Brown made it clear one player deserved special recognition after the dramatic comeback.
Speaking during his postgame press conference early Thursday morning, Brown praised guard Jose Alvarado for helping spark New York’s rally from a staggering 29-point deficit. “Jose was unbelievable tonight,” Brown said, as actor and longtime Knicks superfan Ben Stiller reportedly cheered from across the room.
“He changed the game. His speed, his ability to test the paint,” Brown continued. “Again, you give San Antonio a lot of credit. They’re trying to throw a lot of different things at us defensively… and if you don’t close out Jose, as hard as he works on his shot, he’ll make you pay.”
Brown also highlighted Alvarado’s ability to create offense under pressure. “If you close out on him, he’s quick enough to go by you,” he said. “And he made some great basketball plays offensively tonight.”
Alvarado’s energy off the bench proved crucial as the Knicks clawed their way back into the game, ultimately securing a thrilling 107-106 victory and taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
