A former franchise hero, Robert Horry also sat down to watch the battle to keep the season alive. Actor Jason Sudeikis and undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather also swarmed the courtside seats.

LeBron James had a near-monstrous 40-point triple-double in the elimination game. But despite his explosion, the Denver Nuggets made a race back into the ball game.
