Thankfully there wasn't when Katy Perry, 28, and Russell Brand, 37, both showed up at the Staples Center to catch the game. Perry, dressed in a curve-hugging leopard print dress, showed up with her father Keith Hudson, and was all smiles during her dad-daughter date night.

Meanwhile courtside, Brand also seemed to be enjoying himself and even greeted some of his famous friends including David Beckham.

Brand and Perry announced their split late last December. The Teenage Dream singer has since been dating John Mayer, while her funnyman ex has been seen out with a string of women.

Back on the court, the Mavs beat the Lakers 99-91.
