Best Celebrity Takes from the Knicks' Epic Game 4 Win

The Knicks strolled into Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals knowing they were down 0-2 and staring at a likely series loss. Instead, they pulled off one of the wildest comebacks in Finals history, winning 107-106 after trailing by 29 points in the third quarter. Nearly 20, 000 fans packed Madison Square Garden that night, and among them were dozens of celebrities—some proving their Knicks fandom was no joke. Timothée Chalamet, who grew up in New York, seemed to channel his inner streetball legend when he jumped around with fans right after the buzzer. The energy was so electric that it looked like a scene from a sports movie—except this was real, and the Knicks’ win was even more unexpected. Elsewhere, Taylor Swift, who’s been spotted at playoff games before, brought her own hype squad to courtside. She waved a rally towel like a true fan, showing that even global stars can lose themselves in the madness of a live game. But the biggest surprise? Swift’s courtside crew included musicians from HAIM and Mariska Hargitay, proving basketball has its own kind of star power.Not everyone believed the comeback was happening—including AJ Dybantsa, a college star projected as a top NBA draft pick. As the player correspondent, he was there to capture the moment, and his shocked reaction to OG Anunoby’s game-winning play went viral. But the most emotional scene came from Tracy Morgan, a Knicks fan for decades. In a car ride home, he was caught on camera wiping tears—proof that even grown men can get swept up in the rollercoaster of fandom. Then there was Larry David, who didn’t just watch the game—he reacted like it was a Seinfeld episode. When Josh Hart missed a go-ahead layup with seconds left, David’s face said it all: disbelief, frustration, and the kind of reaction only a diehard fan (or someone who’s seen too many comebacks in sports) could have. Meanwhile, Mariska Hargitay, a longtime Knicks supporter, celebrated the win by hugging assistant coach Rick Brunson—something she’s known to do after games. Her joy mirrored what the entire arena felt: pure, unfiltered happiness. The night belonged to the Knicks, but the celebrities in attendance made it unforgettable. Their reactions weren’t just entertaining—they showed how sports can bring people together, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
