Looking at the pictures of them taken on the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night, we can conclude that they didn’t seem too unhappy to have opted for this NBA game that opposed the Lakers to the New York Knicks!

During this game, the Oscars were being held about 10 miles away at the Dolby Theatre.

Even though Lee is a “crazy” Knicks fan, and Denzel is a huge Lakers fan, the two men had a great time, and even hugged!
