Tennis star Novak Djokovic, media personality Kim Kardashian, and rapper Bad Bunny also made appearances on camera, their expressions suggesting a shared sentiment of annoyance at the prolonged interruption to the game.
While the delay may not have been enjoyable for the celebrities, it certainly provided an amusing spectacle for viewers at home, who were treated to glimpses of their reactions amidst the chaos unfolding on the court.
The extended delay, lasting 23 minutes in total, culminated in a rather lackluster finish to what had been an exciting game, as both teams struggled to regain momentum following the interruption. Despite the less-than-ideal conclusion, the unexpected drama added an element of unpredictability and entertainment to the proceedings, leaving fans and celebrities alike with a memorable experience.

In the end, the Warriors secured a victory over the Lakers, solidifying their position in the Western Conference standings. After the game, Stephen Curry was spotted getting Novak Djokovic, and they exchanged a tennis racquet and jersey.
The game was not without its controversy as several incorrect calls which included LeBron James’ late game 3-pointer being ruled out, infuriated both the star and fans. Enhanced images showed that LeBron was inbound and the referees made the incorrect call. The referees also allowed an illegal screen by Draymond Green, which resulted in two points and a random shot clock reset, which gave them an extra 15 seconds.
However, it was the star-studded audience’s reactions to the lengthy delay that stole the spotlight, providing a moment of levity and amusement amidst the tension of the game.
