The Lakers may have crushed the Rockets in a blowout win, but it was Chrissy Teigen who truly stole the spotlight at Crypto.com Arena. While Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves dazzled on the court-scoring a combined 62 points to seal a dominant 140-109 victory-Teigen had the internet absolutely buzzing with her courtside appearance.

Attending the April 12 game alongside husband John Legend, the model and media personality turned heads when the camera panned to the couple during the third quarter.

Sporting a sleek, stylish look and showing off her famous legs, Teigen quickly became the unofficial MVP of the night-at least according to fans online. “They came for the game, but lil mama came to steal the show,” one fan commented, capturing the tone of the internet frenzy that followed.

Social media loves Chrissy

Social media exploded with reactions, ranging from fashion praise to memes about her stealing the spotlight from the Lakers themselves. Though Hollywood staples like Bruce Springsteen and Jessica Alba were also in attendance, it was Teigen who racked up the views and reposts.

Teigen and Legend are no strangers to the Lakers’ courtside scene, having been regulars for years. But this particular appearance reignited the conversation around how celebrity sightings often upstage even the most high-octane matchups in the NBA.

Teigen was the real winner of the night

Meanwhile, the Lakers continue their strong run in the Western Conference, now sitting in third place with a 50-31 record. Their next challenge will be on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers-but good luck finding a moment that tops Teigen’s viral courtside cameo.

At this point, even the scoreboard might agree: Chrissy Teigen – 1, Rockets – 0.
