Timothée Chalamet celebrated like a true diehard Knicks fan after New York pulled off one of the most shocking wins in NBA Finals history. After the Knicks’ dramatic 107-106 comeback victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 on Wednesday night, the Oscar-nominated actor was seen jumping into the chaos at Madison Square Garden, grabbing a reporter’s microphone, screaming along with fans and finally ripping off his jersey in celebration. The Knicks’ victory gave New York a commanding 3-1 series lead after overcoming a staggering 29-point deficit.
In footage shared on social media, Chalamet could be seen fully embracing the frenzy inside Madison Square Garden as fans erupted after the dramatic finish. At one point, the Dune actor grabbed a reporter’s microphone and shouted excitedly along with the crowd. “Let’s fucking go!” Chalamet yelled into the microphone before laughing and admitting, “I don’t even know what camera is running.”
The actor also gave a shoutout to Knicks player OG Anunoby, who made 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 excited Knicks fans. Meanwhile Kylie Jenner documented much of the chaos nearby, filming her boyfriend’s exaggerated reaction with a smile on his face.
Chalamet went shirtless during the postgame chaos
The celebration didn’t 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 tore off both his oversized Chrome Hearts denim jacket and white T-shirt as the tension mounted. At one point, his jeans even began to slide low enough to reveal his black underwear as he ran through the crowd.
Jenner could again be seen nearby laughing and recording the moment on her phone.
Madison Square Garden turned into a hotspot for celebrities
Game 4 was packed with A-list faces that saw the historic comeback unfold. Among those present were Taylor Swift, Tracy Morgan, Mariska Hargitay, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Rock, Scooter Braun, Sydney Sweeneyand Spike Lee.
Jenner and Swift were even seen in a warm courtside embrace after the final buzzer, despite Swift’s much-publicized feud with Jenner’s sister, Kim Kardashian.
The tension between Swift and Kardashian goes back almost a decade to the fallout around Kanye West‘s song “Famous,” which featured controversial lyrics about the Grammy winner. Kardashian later released redacted recordings of phone calls between Swift and West, fueling a years-long public feud that often played out online and in the headlines.
Timothée Chalamet has been a Knicks Superfan for years
Chalamet’s impassioned reaction likely came as no surprise to longtime fans. The actor has been front and center supporting the Knicks throughout their playoff run, even skipping the 2026 Met Gala with Jenner last month to watch New York take on the Philadelphia 76ers. The couple has also turned several playoff games into date nights, including a sweet moment on the field during the Eastern Conference semifinals in May.
Chalamet was just as emotional during Game 3 earlier this week, when cameras caught him standing and yelling in frustration as the Knicks fell to the Spurs 115-111.
Wednesday night, however, was a completely different story. The New York Knicks made NBA Finals history when they stormed back from a 29-point deficit to beat 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 win the championship Saturday in San Antonio.
Knicks coach Mike Brown praises Jose Alvarado after the historic comeback
As stars filled Madison Square Garden and fans celebrated the historic victory, Knicks head coach Mike Brown made it clear that 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 incredible tonight,” Brown said, as actor and longtime Knicks superfan Ben Stiller reportedly cheered from across the room.
“He changed the game. His quickness, his ability to test the paint,” Brown continued. “Again, you give San Antonio a lot of credit. They try to throw a lot of different things at us defensively … and if you don’t shut Jose out, as hard as he works on his shot, he’s going to make you pay.”
Brown also highlighted Alvarado’s ability to create offense under pressure. “If you close him down, he’s quick enough to go past 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 and ultimately secured a thrilling 107-106 victory to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
