As time winded down during Game 3 against the Indiana Pacers, Oscar-nominated actor and superfan of the New York Knicks Timothée Chalamet was fired up and shown on camera.
His reaction to the game went viral. As the clock was reaching triple zeroes, Chalamet could be heard and seen exclaiming, “Let's go!” several times.
After the game, Chalamet posted a video of him leaving the arena. He wrote “2-1,” referencing the Knicks' first win in the series, and can be heard saying, “Let's go, baby! Let's go, baby!”
Of course, Chalamet was at Game 3, traveling to Indiana to root for his team. He has been a fixture of their games during their playoff run, and that should be expected to continue in Games 4 and 5.
Timothée Chalamet's role in Knicks-Pacers series
Chalamet has become one of the Knicks' most recognizable fans. He is quickly becoming the new-age Spike Lee, cheering on the Knicks from courtside. He has been seen hanging with other fans like Lee and Ben Stiller.
Initially, it appeared the Knicks were heading for another loss to the Pacers. If they lost, they would be facing a 3-0 deficit in the series, making it nearly impossible to come back.

Karl-Anthony Towns led the way for New York with 24 points. He also logged 15 rebounds. Jalen Brunson was right behind him with 23 points in Game 3.

Coming up, he will star in Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, and Dune: Messiah. The former project also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, while the latter is the third entry in the Dune series.
