Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner pack on the PDA during Knicks-Pacers Game 5
The post Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner pack on the PDA during Knicks-Pacers Game 5 appeared first on ClutchPoints. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner looked very much in love as the New York Knicks faced the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks superfan and beauty mogul have been dating for around two years and were seen on celebrity row speaking closely and sharing a few kisses. Jenner previously attended Game 5 of the Knicks and Boston Celtics' Eastern Conference Semifinals alongside Chalamet. She had a memorable moment when she celebrated the Knicks' win with her best friend Jordyn Woods. The model is dating Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns. The Dune star and Jenner have also attended the US Open together and first caught the attention of fans at a Beyoncé concert back in 2023. The couple has attended the 2025 Oscars together and the 2025 BAFTAs but they made their red carpet debut earlier this month at the 70th David di Donatello ceremony. Jenner stepped out in a black gown with Chalamet in a black velvet blazer. In their recent formal appearances as a couple, the Khy founder has opted for black gowns which she said she wore to not necessarily draw too much attention. 'I think it just like happened that way,' the Kylie Cosmetics founder told Harper's Bazaar. 'Even, recently I was like, 'I can't wear another black dress.' And then of course the most perfect, gorgeous Schiaparelli black dress shows up,' she said. 'Although these are the most beautiful, iconic gowns that I've been wearing, I think a black dress is also kind of like, not too attention-grabbing in the best way. You can never go wrong with a black dress,' Jenner told the publication. Chalamet has been a Knicks fan since high school despite his recent fame on the sideline of the Knicks playoff series. In Game 4 of the series which the Knicks fell to the Pacers, 121-130, the actor did not look too happy with the referees calls. However, that was not the case tonight as the Knicks defeated the Pacers 111-94 in Game 5 at New York's Madison Square Garden to force a Game 6 in Indianapolis bringing the series to 3-2.

Rock legend John Mellencamp throws shade at Pat McAfee for Pacers-Knicks comments
Pat McAfee has been called out by music legend John Mellencamp after he branded Ben Stiller and other visiting Knicks fans 'sons of b****es'. Stiller, filmmaker Spike Lee and actor Timothee Chalamet were among the celebrities who travelled to Indianapolis for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers. Former NFL star-turned-WWE and ESPN personality McAfee took to the microphone at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to give their rival fans a brutal welcome. 'Indianapolis, Indiana. We've got some big wigs from the big city in the building!' McAfee said. He then called out Lee, Stiller, and Chalamet before shouting: 'Let's send these sons of b****es back to New York with their ears ringing.' The clip quickly went viral but it didn't go down well with all of McAfee's fellow Pacers fans. Rock star Mellencamp, 73, was also among the crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and, ahead of Game 5 at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, he apologized for McAfee's 'embarrassing' behavior. 'The Knicks/Pacers games have been very entertaining for anyone who like s basketball or sports. I attended Game 4 in Indianapolis,' Mellencamp said in a statement. '"Hoosier Hospitality".. I was embarrassed when somebody, under whose direction I don't know, called out some of the people who had made the trip from New York to support their team - and in turn, support our team. 'The audience booed these people. I'd say that was not Hoosier Hospitality. One could only say it's poor, poor sportsmanship. I was not proud to be a Hoosier, and I've lived here my entire life. 'On behalf of most Hoosiers, I would like to apologize for our poor behavior. I'm sure the Pacers had nothing to do with this smackdown.' McAfee, a former NFL punter for the Indianapolis Colts, was at the game alongside his boss at WWE, Paul 'Triple H' Levesque. He will not be at MSG for Game 5 but McAfee did respond to Mellencamp on social media. 'I am 'somebody',' he wrote alongside the musician's statement.

Reggie Miller's Final Call on TNT Career Revealed During NBA Playoffs
The Eastern Conference playoff field is down to its final two contenders: the third-seeded New York Knicks and the fourth-seeded Indiana Pacers. In a postseason filled with surprises, these two storied franchises are set to reignite one of the NBA's most intense rivalries. This matchup is a nostalgic throwback to the fierce battles of the 1990s. The Knicks and Pacers faced off in the playoffs six times from 1993 to 2000, including showdowns in the first round (1993), conference semifinals (1995, 1998), and conference finals (1994, 1999, 2000). The rivalry was reignited briefly in 2013 and again in 2024, and now continues with another high-stakes showdown in 2025. Advertisement Adding to the history, Fox Sports' Rachel Nichols reported that the final NBA series to be broadcast on TNT, before the network's current TV deal expires, will feature none other than Reggie Miller, a Pacers legend and a central figure in the Knicks-Pacers saga, on the call: "Knicks-Pacers with Reggie Miller on the call - the final NBA series TNT will broadcast as their current TV deal expires. What a fitting way to go out." Since 1993, the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers have clashed in the NBA playoffs eight times. Indiana holds the edge historically, having eliminated the Knicks in five of those eight series, including five of the last six meetings. Advertisement The most recent came in 2024, when the Pacers edged the Knicks in a dramatic seven-game showdown. Overall, Indiana also leads the all-time postseason win tally between the two franchises, 26-22. Reggie Miller, former Indiana Pacers star.© Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images This rivalry is packed with memorable moments, bitter exchanges and playoff drama that was classic during the 1990s NBA landscape. 1993: The rivalry began in the first-round series, highlighted by the infamous trash-talking battle between Reggie Miller and John Starks, which culminated in Starks headbutting Miller. 1994: This was the series that heightened the feud. With Spike Lee taunting Miller courtside, the Pacers star famously responded with his legendary "choke" gesture, despite later airballing a potential game-tying three in the final seconds of one game. 1995: Perhaps the most unforgettable moment of the rivalry came in Game 1, when Reggie Miller scored eight points in 8.9 seconds to steal a win at Madison Square Garden. Indiana finally got past New York in this series, shaking off their previous postseason struggles. 1998: The Knicks were without their star center, Patrick Ewing, and the Pacers capitalized to win another tight series. 1999: In a stunning turn, the 8th-seeded Knicks upset the Pacers in the Conference Finals in six games. New York went on to reach the NBA Finals, becoming the first 8-seed in history to do so. 2000: Reggie Miller was at it again, scoring a playoff career-high 41 points to lead Indiana past New York. The Pacers reached the NBA Finals but fell to the Los Angeles Lakers. 2013: A new generation took the floor, with Miller retired and the Knicks boasting a revamped roster. Indiana again got the better of New York in the second round, before falling to the eventual champion Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. 2024: Last season's series reignited the flame, with the Pacers narrowly outlasting the Knicks in seven games. Reggie Miller was the face of the Pacers during much of this rivalry. Though he never captured an NBA title, Miller scored over 25,279 career points and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. His legendary performances, especially at Madison Square Garden, cemented his place as one of the greatest playoff antagonists the Knicks have ever faced. Advertisement Miller announced in February that he would be heading to NBC as a lead game analyst for the NBA. Now, the rivalry returns for its ninth playoff chapter, with the Knicks hosting Game 1 on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. With familiar history and new stars ready to send their names into this rivalry, the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals promise to add another unforgettable page to one of the NBA's most heated feuds.
