The Knicks weren’t the only ones excited in San Antonio on Friday night.
Their two most prominent celebrity fans were just as pumped in a moment of pure exultation.
Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller were riding high off the Knicks’ thrilling 105-104 Game 2 win over the Spurs in the NBA Finals and hugged it out in the tunnel of Frost Bank Center.
😆
Chalamet, the “Dune” actor, hugged one person in the bowels of the arena before making a beeline toward the “Meet the Parents” actor for a powerful embrace, as seen in a video shared by Yahoo Sports.
Stiller was smiling ear to ear as he reveled in the Knicks taking a commanding 2-0 series lead, despite New York nearly blowing a fourth quarter lead as the Spurs went on a furious late run.

In a video published by ESPN, Chalamet was heard saying “Two more to go!” with a big grin on his face.
But Spurs star Victor Wembanyama turned the ball over in the waning seconds with an errant pass and then fouled Jalen Brunson, who converted 1 of his 2 free throws to give the Knicks the lead. Wembanyama, with a chance to give the Spurs the win at the other end, missed a buzzer-beater to seal San Antonio’s fate.
Chalamet and Stiller have been a fixture at Knicks games — at both Madison Square Garden and on the road — throughout the years, but they’ve had a noticeable presence during this run to the NBA Finals.

To that end, on Thursday, Chalamet posted a picture to his Instagram story where he had plastic bags of ice covering both of his knees. In a follow-up story he wrote: “Ppl underestimate the wear and tear on the body of a fan throughout the playoffs,” Chalamet said in a corresponding Instagram story post. “Self care is important.”
The best self care for Chalamet and Stiller might be two more wins for their beloved basketball team.
