The Lakers had a fantastic November, winning 11 out of 12 games. This success caught the attention of many famous people. On a Monday night, Eddie Murphy, Austin Butler, and Pat Sajak were among the stars who came to watch the Lakers play the Phoenix Suns. Other celebrities like Dodgers World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather were also there. Jimmy Iovine and Mark McGrath had great seats right by the court. Unfortunately, the Lakers did not play well that night. The Suns shot really well, making 56. 5% of their shots and 17 out of 39 three-pointers. They won easily, 125-108. Dillon Brooks, the Suns' best player that night, made things tough for LeBron James. He even taunted James and the Lakers fans. During the game, a funny moment happened. A reporter asked if Austin Butler was sitting next to him. The reporter did not recognize Butler. Someone told him, "The guy who played Elvis is sitting directly to your left. " The reporter said, "Oh, he's been great! " Butler later took a photo with Devin Booker, who had to leave the game early because of an injury. The Lakers' next home game is on December 10 against the San Antonio Spurs. Fans and celebrities will have to wait a while to see them play again.
