In the bustling atmosphere of Los Angeles, Jennifer Lopez, accompanied by Ben Affleck and his 12-year-old son Samuel, indulged in a courtside spectacle at the Crypto.com Arena. The trio secured prime seats to witness the epic showdown between the LA Lakers and the Golden State Warriors, joining a star-studded crowd that included luminaries such as Kim Kardashian and Bad Bunny.
Following the thrilling matchup, Affleck and Samuel eagerly sought out Golden State Warriors’ star player, Stephen Curry, for handshakes and a memorable photo opportunity.
Curry’s electrifying performance during the game, marked by a rare display of aggression, left the Hollywood power couple visibly astonished.
In fact, in the third quarter, Curry made a challenging three-pointer despite facing strong defensive pressure and also drew a foul, extending his team’s lead to nine points.
A big Warriors victory
Despite a slow start, Curry’s explosive comeback in the subsequent quarters propelled the Warriors forward, with the visitors grabbing a 128-121 win.
“They’re always going to talk about me and [LeBron James], and obviously deservedly so, but it was about our total group tonight,” Curry said after the game.
“[Jonathan Kuminga] getting off to a hot start, taking what the defense gave him, Klay [Thompson] coming off the bench with huge buckets, [Chris Paul] controlling the tempo the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, Draymond [Green] doing what he does.
“The list can go on. For us it takes a whole team to win, and we needed it. We needed it bad.”
The highly anticipated clash between the Warriors and Lakers held significant playoff implications for both teams, adding intensity to the already heated rivalry.
