Timothee Chalamet and Ben Stiller sat next to each other to watch their beloved New York Knicks suffer a devastating 138-135 defeat by the Indiana Pacers in playoff action on Wednesday night.
The Hollywood stars have been regularly attending games at Madison Square Garden in recent months as the Knicks have surged into the Eastern Conference Finals.
There was no sign of Chalamet’s girlfriend, Kylie Jenner this time, however.
Instead, he positioned himself next to Stiller for Game 1 with the Indiana Pacers.
Chalamet, who once won a pair of Knicks tickets in 2010 in a social media contest, and Stiller have been front and center of the celebrity seats at Madison Square Garden this year.
The ‘Dune’ star sat courtside both in New York and Boston to watch his beloved Knicks eliminate the Boston Celtics and secure their place in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Chalamet took Jenner to Game 4 of the Knicks’ recent series win over the Boston Celtics
Chalamet also took Jenner to Game 4 at MSG, the game where the Knicks won and Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles late in the fourth quarter.
After Game 6, footage of Chalamet celebrating widly with the thousands of fans flooding the streets around MSG went viral across social media.
Then Chalamet and New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson headed to the exclusive Chez Margaux bar in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District to celebrate the series win over the Celtics.
But the pair didn’t see their team win on Wednesday night as the Pacers came from behind to win in overtime.
Tyrese Haliburton tied the game with a long jumper that bounced high off the back of the rim and in as time expired in regulation.
The Knicks led by 14 points with under three minutes remaining in regulation, but Aaron Nesmith brought the Pacers back with a flurry of late 3-pointers.
Haliburton then hoped he had won it with another. With the Pacers down two and time running down, he started to lose control of his dribble, regained it and dribbled back out toward the 3-point line.
He fired up his jumper and when it finally fell in, he raced toward the sideline and made a choke signal to the crowd, like Pacers Hall of Famer Reggie Miller did to Spike Lee while leading a Pacers comeback in a playoff game in 1994.
Replay confirmed that Haliburton’s toe was on the line and it was a 2-pointer that tied it at 125. Andrew Nembhard eventually made the go-ahead basket with 26 seconds remaining in OT.

Livvy Dunne was also at the game and posted a picture of herself beforehand in a Knicks cap
Among the other celebrities in attendance at MSG on Wednesday night were Martha Stewart, Jon Hamm, Dave Chappelle, Larry David and Tracy Morgan. Mary J. Blige performed at halftime.
Social media sensation and former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne was also at the game.
Originally from New Jersey, she posted a picture of herself beforehand in a Knicks cap and a short video from her position courtside.
Earlier on Wednesday, Caitlin Clark revealed she would like Chalamet to sit courtside at an Indiana Fever game.
Clark and her Indiana Fever teammates were asked who they would most like to sit courtside at one of their games this season.
With little hesitation, Clark said: ‘Timothee Chalamet. I think we’re going to get him to a game. He’ll be here.’
