The New York Knicks are just one win away from ending a 53-year championship drought, and the dramatic Game 4 victory sparked emotional celebrations from fans across the country, including some of the biggest names in entertainment, sports, and comedy.
Madison Square Garden transformed into a sea of euphoria moments after OG Anunoby delivered a game-winning one-handed tip-in with just 1.2 seconds remaining, sealing a stunning 107-106 comeback victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
The win gave New York a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals and pushed the franchise to the brink of its first title since 1973, as reported by The Guardian.
Among the most animated supporters was Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet, one of the Knicks’ most recognizable celebrity superfans. After the final buzzer, Chalamet was seen celebrating wildly inside the arena. Videos circulating online showed the actor jumping alongside fellow longtime Knicks supporter Ben Stiller while his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, watched the festivities unfold.
