The New York Knicks completed a stunning 29-point comeback to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals 107-106 on Tuesday night, sending celebrities and fans into a frenzy at Madison Square Garden and beyond.
Celebrity Row Goes Wild
The star-studded crowd at MSG included regulars Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, Adam Sandler, Fat Joe, and Chris Rock. Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan attended alongside Nas. Sydney Sweeney brought Scooter Braun, while Taylor Swift sat courtside in her "Stevie Knicks" T-shirt with the Haim sisters and Mariska Hargitay. Wu-Tang Clan performed a full reunion at halftime, representing Staten Island on one of the biggest nights in Knicks history.
Chalamet Loses His Shirt
After OG Anunoby tipped in the game-winner with one second left, Timothée Chalamet went wild, dancing through the hallways with fans including Ben Stiller before ripping off his shirt as Kylie Jenner filmed. When a reporter asked how he felt, he replied simply: "Beautiful."
Swift and the Custom Tee Squad
Taylor Swift danced with Este and Alana Haim in their matching custom shirts after the win, then hugged Kylie Jenner in the tunnel. Mariska Hargitay found Jalen Brunson and told him: "I love you so much. I'm so happy." No one was keeping their cool.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Hit the Streets
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky ended up on Manhattan streets shooting hoops with fans and missing shots. Rihanna, rarely seen without making a moment, was airballing with regular New Yorkers at midnight.
NYC Erupts
Up to 10,000 fans flooded the streets around MSG, setting off fireworks, blocking traffic, climbing scaffolding, and attempting to flip a taxi. Police took 56 people into custody, and 10 officers were injured. The city had canceled the official outdoor watch party after Game 3 celebrations led to 21 arrests, but it didn't matter.
Chuck D from Public Enemy painted Anunoby's game-winning bucket. Iman Shumpert put on his old Knicks jersey and celebrated on 7th Avenue. A Baltimore Ravens quarterback took selfies in Manhattan. Mumford & Sons and Tate McRae ended up celebrating together inside MSG.
The Knicks are one win away from their first championship since 1973. If they close it out, whatever happened on June 10 will look like a rehearsal.
