The stands were filled with celebrities as the Lakers faced off with the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night
The best star-sighting spot in Los Angeles this weekend was Saturday’s NBA playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets.
The Nuggets won the night, giving them a 3-0 lead over the Lakers, meaning one more victory will knock the Lakers out of the running.
Long-time Lakers courtside fixture Jack Nicholson made an appearance, alongside his son, Ray Nicholson, 31.
Nicholson has mostly been out of the spotlight since his retirement from acting in 2010.
