The day started off with rain (the only day that hasn't been absolutely gorgeous since I got here). I met up with a friend of mine to get brunch and go to the game. The Staples Center is absolutely huge! (I had forgotten that they hold the Grammys here) We found our seats which were sixth row on the baseline and had an incredible view.
The majority of the crowd cheered for LA although there were some very passionate Celtics fans as well! It was fun to spot different celebrities as they took their courtside seats (Jack Nicholson, Adam Sandler, Maria Shriver, Andy Garcia, Matt Damon, Nick Swardson, Zac Efron, Kris Jenner, etc)
The Lakers held strong, and it was a very competitive game for the first three quarters; however, they began to fall apart in the fourth quarter and ultimately lost. Whenever Kobe nailed a three-pointer the whole arena would explode which was very exciting!! I hope to catch another game before the season is over and hope they start playing better!
We debated going out to a late lunch or to nearby Little Tokyo, but went back for coffee in Silver Lake since post-game traffic was so wild.

Great picture of Jack Nicholson - did you take that?
ReplyDeleteNo ... I found it online. I only took the two pics on my cellphone. Forgot to take the real camera (but also didnt want to play paparazzi during the game either)
