LeBron James played his heart out to drive LA Lakers into the West finals. King James scored 30 points, had 9 rebounds, and as many assists that put Golden State Warriors out of the playoffs. Their star campaigner Steph Curry scored 32 points but his failure to convert 10 attempts from 14 three-pointers proved costly. Out there to watch the brilliance of L-Train unfold before their eyes were F1 sensation Lewis Hamilton and Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Lakers will now face off with Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets for the Western Conference finals. On the other side, Miami Heat scored a narrow win of 96-92 over New York Knicks to make their way to the Eastern Conference finals.

Lewis Hamilton and Leonardo DiCaprio get courtside to watch LeBron James’ brilliance

Hamilton is currently going through a one-week break after his racing at the Miami GP last weekend. The fixture, just like last year’s inaugural edition last year, turned out to be quite a starry affair. From top athletes to A-list celebrities, everyone descended upon the Miami International Autodrome. The Mercedes star enjoyed quite the backing with the likes of Maria Sharapova rooting for him.

As the 7-time world champion is enjoying a break from F1, it was only fair for him to cheer for his good friend LeBron’s team as they faced the Warriors in the playoffs finals.
