The New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday night to extend their season by another game. And if there’s one person on Earth whose happier than Knicks mega-fan Timothee Chalamet, it may be his girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Kylie Jenner has been in tow with her boyfriend Timothee Chalamet at numerous Knicks home games during their playoff run, making her latest appearance at Game 5 in Madison Square Garden on Thursday, April 29.
With the Knicks season on the line, New York came through with a 111-94 win over Indiana, booking their ticket to Game 6 in Indy on Saturday night.
After the game, Kylie Jenner took to social media to joke that she “only gets laid when the Knicks win” by reposting a clip from the HBO series Sex in the City.

@streamonmax Let’s get a win for Samantha, @New York Knicks. #SATC #SexandtheCity #SamanthaJones #CarrieBradshaw #KimCattrall #SarahJessicaParker #Knicks #NBAPlayoffs #HBO
While Jenner obviously posted the clip in jest, it certainly wouldn’t be surprising if there was a kernel of truth to it as Chalamet is absolutely LOCKED IN to the Knicks’ playoff run right now. His appearances at every single game and intensity on the sidelines has caused some to start calling him “Coach Chalamet.”
The winner of the Eastern Conference Finals will advance to the NBA Finals to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, who more or less cruised through the Western Conference Finals as the beat the Minnesota Timberwolves in a five-game gentlemen’s sweep.
Whoever does advance to the Finals, regardless of it’s the New York Knicks or Indiana Pacers, will be considerable underdogs against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are led by 2024/25 MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
