Timothée Chalamet brought his Knicks fandom to Indianapolis on Sunday night.
Chalamet posted two Instagram Stories following the Knicks’ Game 3 win over the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, where his passion was on full display.
The actor recorded the final seconds of the 106-100 victory while he could be heard screaming in excitement as a meaningless Pacers’ heave banged off the rim.
He followed that video up with another captioned, “2-1,” to represent the Knicks’ deficit in the series, while a song from the famed late New York rapper Pop Smoke played in the background.
During New York’s playoff run, Chalamet has slotted himself alongside the likes of many celebrities who have shown up essentially night in and night out to support the Knicks.
Chalamet brought that support to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 3, and it’s safe to say that he was pretty fired up about the Knicks winning the crucial contest to avoid going down 3-0 in the series.
The 29-year-old lifelong Knicks fan had the pleasure of witnessing yet another big-time playoff comeback on Sunday.
Down 13 at halftime and by as many as 20 points in the game, the Knicks clawed back just as they did in numerous games against the Pistons and Celtics in the first two postseason rounds.
Holding a 104-100 lead in the waning moments, the broadcast cut to Chalamet, who was emphatically clapping for his team as he yelled, “Let’s go!”
In front of just a few Knicks fans like Chalamet and in a building with a hostile Pacers crowd, New York completed the comeback and silenced the home arena.

Karl-Anthony Towns racked up 20 points in the fourth quarter to lead the charge.
Towns and Jalen Brunson each battled foul trouble throughout the game as they finished with five fouls apiece, but did just enough to stay available and effective in the closing minutes.
The Pacers now lead 2-1 as they narrowly missed out on what would have likely been a dagger in the series.
The series stays in Indiana for Game 4 on Tuesday before returning to Madison Square Garden on Thursday.
