Madison Square Garden is always filled with star-studded celebrities and icons who appear courtside to watch the games. From Chris Rock, and Tracy Morgan to Dua Lipa and Liv Morgan, stars from various fields have enjoyed watching the New York Knicks at the ‘Mecca of Basketball‘. Similarly, during Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a 27-year-old Hollywood star, who has been rumored to be dating fashion icon Kylie Jenner, joined the MSG crowd to support his home team. The Academy Award-nominated actor is a long-time Knicks superfan, so much so, that he sold some of his season tickets after LeBron James’ ‘infamous’ decision in 2010.

Taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, the New York Knicks have made a statement with their offensive dominance. However, the Academy Award-nominated actor’s presence took some of the spotlight away from the Knicks.

The game 4 battle between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks went back and forth until Jalen Brunson, along with RJ Barrett, decided to take over in the final quarter. Dropping 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, Brunson’s only mission was to demolish Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers.

Amid the drama on the court, Timothee Chalamet appeared courtside to watch his beloved Knicks in action. Chalamet, who is rumored to be dating $600 million worth Kylie Jenner, enjoyed the game as the Knicks won a close game. The dating rumors spread like wildfire after a few reports revealed Jenner’s car was spotted outside Chalamet’s house. However, there is no confirmation yet from either of them.?

Chalamet, who was born and raised in New York, can often be seen supporting his Knicks at MSG. The ‘Call Me By Your Name’ actor is a massive fan of the team. Interestingly, he spent his first major paycheck from a commercial on purchasing season tickets for the Knicks back in 2010. However, he had to sell a few of them after King James decided to join the Miami Heat instead of the Knicks.

The Knicks closed out the Cavaliers

In his fourth year with the Knicks, seems like R.J. Barrett has already turned into a veteran. Continuing his efficiency from Game 3, the Duke alumnus secured 26 points and a few clutch buckets late in the fourth to seal the game for his team.?

Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell had a tough time finding his rhythm in the second half of Game 4. However, he was filled in by Darius Garland. Though the young guard made an impact with 23 points, the Knicks made sure they closed the Cavs out.

Mitchell has never missed the playoffs in his career. However, he hasn’t had a great impact in the postseason either. Averaging 28.1 points in the playoffs, the 26-year-old brought the Cavaliers back to the postseason after several years. However, it seems like the efforts might go in vain again considering only 95% of teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit.

Already under enough pressure, Brunson’s takeover is something the Cavs have to worry about. Though Donovan Mitchell’s team will have the homecourt advantage, the upcoming game is do-or-die.
