The New York Knicks pulled off the largest comeback win in NBA Finals history ... so fans took to the streets to celebrate ... and it got WILD!!!

Check out the photos ... New Yorkers are crowd surfing, climbing on poles, and going absolutely bananas.

Knicks fans have reason to let it all out ... their team was down 29 points before roaring back to win Game 4 Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden to move within one victory of the franchise's first NBA championship since 1973.

Timothée Chalamet was riding an emotional roller coaster at Madison Square Garden ... and by the final stop, he was floating on air.

The diehard Knicks fan got swallowed up by a sea of celebrating New Yorkers after the team's jaw-dropping 107-106 comeback win over the Spurs Wednesday night in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Check out the video ... Timothée and fellow Knicks superfan Ben Stiller were mobbed by ecstatic fans as chants erupted and the postgame party spilled into the streets.

Taylor Swift's arrival at Game 4 of the NBA Finals got an immediate reaction from the Knicks radio booth ... and it wasn't exactly a warm VIP welcome.

New York Knicks lead radio analyst Monica McNutt was caught on a hot mic as members of the broadcast team tried to figure out whether the pop superstar had made it to the arena ... however McNutt seemingly expressed she wasn’t too happy to see Taylor amongst the hyped crowd.

As the radio group discussed a possible sighting, someone asked, "Is that Taylor Swift down there?" ... once the vocal icon was confirmed to be in attendance, McNutt didn't hesitate with her response, saying "She's not a Knicks fan, get out of here, girl."

Taylor Swift and Kylie Jenner shared a moment Wednesday night after the Knicks' comeback victory against the Spurs ... the two celebs embraced in a huge hug!

And the embrace was captured on video as Knicks fans stormed the court after Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, where Taylor is getting married to Travis Kelce on July 3.

Check out the clip ... Taylor is standing behind Kylie, who suddenly turns around and sees the pop star. Kylie smiles brightly as Taylor gives a little wave before they go in for the hug.  The pair chat briefly and then part ways.

Taylor Swift's big night at Madison Square Garden didn't end with the Knicks' victory over the Spurs ... the pop star partied into the early morning hours with some of her celebrity friends.

As the world already knows, TS made a grand entrance at MSG in NYC Wednesday night for Game 4 of the NBA Finals — and, afterward, Taylor brought the party downtown to Zero Bond -- the private membership club -- arriving just after 1 AM.

TMZ obtained video showing Taylor hopping out of a black SUV with the Haim sisters, Alana and Este, and walking inside the club while still wearing her Knicks t-shirt -- that is, "Stevie Knicks."

Talk about an awkward seating chart ... Taylor Swift found herself just a few rows away from Scooter Braun during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.

Two of the biggest names from one of music's most public feuds found themselves in the same building -- and surprisingly close quarters -- as eagle-eyed fans noticed Taylor was spotted uncomfortably close to crossing paths with Scooter, who sat just rows away.

Video from inside the arena showed the music mogul sitting only three rows back from the pop superstar with his gleaming girlfriend Sydney Sweeney, the couple seemingly separated from Swift by a barricade.

Taylor Swift scoped out her and Travis Kelce's wedding venue Wednesday night ... because she rolled up to watch Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.

Here's the catch ... she arrived at the game without her hubby to be and with her girls Alana and Este Haim.

Taylor is wearing a fitted blue Knicks tee with an adorbs matching bow and black jeans. Of course ... she is sporting her classic red lip, too.

Game 4 of the NBA Finals is about to be a star-studded showdown ... because Taylor Swift is expected to attend the game at her upcoming wedding venue, Madison Square Garden.

According to Page Six, Taylor's a huge New York Knicks fan and is planning to roll up to the game with some friends.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … she’s expressed interested in going and is expected to be in the stands tonight. But it's unclear if Travis Kelce will be with her.

Draymond Green is adding a Community Note to his own social media clapback ... claiming when he told a woman he'd "crush" her "dirty ass kids," he was still in Kevin Hart roast mode.

The Golden State Warriors star issued the wild comment after a basketball fan called him a "bitch" on X last month ... replying, "Watch your mouth before I crush those dirty ass kids in your banner."

Some folks were baffled by Green's words ... especially because the word "crush" can be interpreted as a threat.

Some Trump supporters are pissed the President got so little airtime at the NBA Finals compared to stars at MSG -- and it turns out that wasn't an accident.

Here's the deal ... DT made history as the first sitting prez to attend the Finals last night -- but was only shown on ESPN twice ... and one of those times he was mercilessly booed. Meanwhile, celebs like Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Timothée Chalamet, Tina Fey, Fat Joe, and Larry David got plenty of network love.

ESPN sources tell TMZ ... Trump got due attention for this historical moment ... but he was also in a bulletproof box -- which ain't as easy to film as all the stars sitting courtside.

Avery Wilson has no issue with President Trump being mercilessly booed at the NBA Finals while he sang the national anthem -- but his feelings have nothing to do with politics!

Avery tells TMZ ... it was an instant pop culture moment ... and that's all he really cares about -- because his fantastic rendition of the anthem is all over social media today.

As you know ... a chorus of MSG boos rained down for DT during game 3 while the Broadway star performed ... Trump told reporters afterward he heard plenty of cheers, too.

The Knicks' 13-game playoff win streak was snapped Monday night, and many fans are blaming President Trump ... but is that fair?? Charles Barkley says hell no!

"No, s*** no. That had nothing to do with it. I thought the Spurs outplayed them," the Hall of Famer told Adam Glyn in New York City, shortly after Game 3 ended.

Of course, Trump became the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game, pulling up to the Garden for the highly anticipated game, watching with his friend, Knicks owner James Dolan, as the team lost 115-111, with the Spurs pulling within one game of New York.

POTUS's presence meant hella increased security around the World's Most Famous Arena. Fans were told to arrive hours before the game, and were subjected to airport-like security. Barriers were also installed around MSG to keep fans away from the building perimeter, and watch parties were banned.

10:04 AM PT -- Davis Ingle, a White House spokesperson, tells TMZ ... “President Trump made history as the first sitting President to attend an NBA Finals game. The President watched every moment of a highly competitive, entertaining contest from James Dolan’s suite, joined by talented members of his Cabinet. Anyone ridiculously claiming the President was asleep is either lying or has severe brain damage.”

Donald Trump came to the NBA Finals hoping to watch the Knicks take a commanding 3-0 series lead ... but by the end of the night, he seemed to be ready for a nap instead.

The president's visit to Madison Square Garden on Monday was a spectacle from the jump. When Trump appeared on the arena's video boards before Game 3, a loud chorus of boos rained down from the crowd -- instantly turning the commander-in-chief into one of the night's biggest storylines.

Social media later erupted after cameras appeared to catch Trump with his eyes closed in his luxury suite, seated beside Knicks owner James Dolan and granddaughter Kai Trump ... prompting plenty of jokes about the 79-year-old nodding off while the Knicks were fighting to stay perfect in the series.

9:27 AM PT -- Stephen A. Smith clapped back at President Trump for seemingly falling asleep during game 3 of the NBA Finals -- saying, "Didn't you call out former President Joe Biden, 'Sleepy Joe'? Well, what should we call you?”

President Trump is pouring cold water on Stephen A. Smith's possible aspirations to ascend to the White House, saying he doesn't have the "IQ" or the "aptitude" to become commander-in-chief.

Trump's vicious remarks came during a press gaggle late Monday night in NYC, before he boarded Air Force One to fly back to D.C. after watching Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. 

Check out the clip ... a reporter first tells Trump that Smith -- a famous sports commentator -- has been talking about running for president and that he would blame Trump if the Knicks lost to the Spurs (the Spurs ended up beating the Knicks 115-111.)

Cardi B says President Trump screwed the New York Knicks' mojo by showing up to Game 3 of the NBA Finals ... killing the overall vibe of Madison Square Garden.

The "WAP" superstar was in the building as the halftime entertainment ... and she says she felt like Trump brought a "dark" energy to MSG.

Cardi chowed down on a SpongeBob SquarePants popsicle as she shared her experience ... comparing Trump's appearance to a principal being at a party, with everyone feeling like they had to be on their best behavior.

Charles Barkley wasn't exactly breaking down pick-and-roll coverage during Game 3 of the NBA Finals ... because once Cardi B hit the floor for halftime, Chuck's scouting report took a very different turn ... and it was sexual.

Check out the clip ... while Cardi brought the house down at Madison Square Garden, Chuck and the "Inside the NBA" crew seemed just as entertained as the fans in the arena. And let's just say Chuck had a particular observation about Cardi's boobs that immediately sent the desk into hysterics.

As cameras showed Cardi performing, Ernie Johnson joked the crew had been "competing with Cardi B" for viewers' attention. Chuck quickly waved the white flag ... cracking that Cardi's famous nickname might need a slight alphabet upgrade.

Chuck joked ... "I don't know if those B's. They might be Cardi D's. I'm pretty sure those aren't B's. She has the wrong initials."
