The New York Knicks pulled off one of the most thrilling playoff comebacks in recent memory, and no one embodied the emotions of Knicks fans better than Timothée Chalamet.
The Hollywood star, a die-hard Knicks supporter, took to Instagram with an NSFW reaction after witnessing his team erase a 20-point deficit to stun the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

The Celtics looked poised to take a commanding win, leading by 20 points in the third quarter. But the Knicks clawed their way back into the game behind Jalen Brunson’s 38-point masterpiece and Mikal Bridges’ clutch defense.
Boston’s shooting woes played a major role in the collapse, as they missed 45 three-pointers, allowing the Knicks to capitalize on their mistakes. The game went into overtime, where Bridges made a game-saving steal, securing a 108-105 victory for New York.
With the Knicks stealing Game 1 on the road, they now hold a 1-0 series lead over the defending champions. The series continues in Boston on Wednesday, before shifting to Madison Square Garden for Game 3 on Saturday.
If Game 1 was any indication, this series is shaping up to be an instant classic. And if the Knicks keep delivering moments like this, expect Chalamet—and the entire Knicks fanbase—to keep the reactions coming.
