Lakers Beat Celtics at Star-Studded Staples
11-Jun-2008
Written by: Malia Brown
The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics, 87-81, as a celebrity crowd cheered them on.
Game three of the 2008 NBA Finals looked a little more like the Academy Awards than a basketball game.
Everyone from Hilary Duff to David Beckham showed up at the Staples Center Tuesday night to cheer on the home team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Number 1 Lakers fan Jack Nicholson enjoyed the game, as always, from his courtside seat, but was probably more than a little frustrated when Celtics coach, Doc Rivers, kept standing in his way.
American Idol winner David Cook sang the national anthem and shot a few free throws before the game.
Also in the crowd was Tobey Maguire, Kristin Davis, Kanye West, Dustin Hoffman, Andy Garcia, David Arquette, Fergie, Dyan Cannon, Penny Marshall, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Michael Clarke Duncan, and soon-to-be Pixar superstar, Wall-E.
But the biggest star of the night was none other than the Lakers own Kobe Bryant. This year's MVP scored 36 points and led the team to a 87-81 victory.
Game four will be played Thursday, and aired live from the Staples Center on ABC at 9 PM.
