The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors, 118-108, on Saturday night in LA.
It was the third straight win and fifth in the last six games for the Lakers as they are building momentum heading to the NBA trade deadline.
Anthony Davis led all scorers with 36 points and 13 rebounds, and LeBron James added 25 points with 12 assists in the victory over Stephen Curry and the Warriors.
While Lakers home games always have plenty of big names on hand, former Laker big man Pau Gasol was spotted at the game sitting courtside.
After the win, Gasol took to X with a three-word message and a quote post to the photo of him at Crypto.com Arena.
“Great win tonight!” Gasol wrote.
The former LA star also wrote the hashtag #GoLakers.

Gasol was with the Lakers from 2008 until 2014, and he was an integral part of the team’s NBA titles in 2009 and 2010.
He played alongside Kobe Bryant and has remained close with Bryant’s family up until this time.
After Gasol’s time with the Lakers, he spent time with the Chicago Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs before a very short stint with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Gasol’s basketball career ended in FC Barcelona, the same place he was born.
Nonetheless, Lakers fans seemed excited to see Gasol in the arena for the win against the Warriors, and the former big man is still cheering on his former team.
