Timothée Chalamet Makes Kylie Jenner Laugh with Ruthless Cavaliers Troll

In what world do Kylie Jenner and Taylor Swift visit Cleveland within 48 hours of each other?

This one, apparently.

Last Saturday, Travis Kelce dragged Swift to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks and subjected the world-famous pop star to playoff James Harden. Swift had to console Kelce, a Cleveland native, as the Knicks pummeled the Cavaliers by 13 points to take a 3-0 series lead.

Jenner is used to sitting courtside with Timothée Chalamet at Knicks games in Madison Square Garden, seeing as she’s dating one of the most famous Knicks fans, but the Knicks’ position on the precipice of history forced a trip to Cleveland for Game 4 on Monday night.

When asked by someone why he traveled to Cleveland, Chalamet said, “Sweep.” Jenner giggled in the background.

Chalamet and Jenner were joined by Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, and Tracy Morgan in the traveling “Celebrity Row” in hopes of witnessing history.

They all got what they came for. The Knicks completed the sweep of the Cavaliers with a wire-to-wire humiliation. New York won Game 4, 130-93 - yes, you read that right - to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. The Knicks have not won a championship since 1973.

The Knicks’ 37-point win to put the Cavaliers out of their misery ranks between their 51-point drubbing of the Atlanta Hawks to close out their first-round series and their 30-point win to complete their sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers among their largest margins of victory in the playoffs.

The Knicks have won 11 straight playoff games, dating back to April 25, and have earned the right to rest until Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals tips off June 3. Whether the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs make it out of the Western Conference, the Knicks are the far healthier and more rested team.
