Affleck and Samuel had courtside seats and were seen celebrating and cheering on for their team. Samuel wore a Los Angeles Lakers jersey with the number 23 printed on it, which is the number used by Lebron James. 

Affleck wore a more discreet look, made out of a cream-colored outfit that included khaki pants, a turtleneck sweater, and a cardigan on top. Images showed the two cheering, looking adorable as Samuel held up three fingers in his hand, celebrating his team's three-point score.

Samuel, 12, and Affleck smiled at all points of the evening, enjoying some snacks throughout the night, including pretzels and fried chicken, which they ate along with some sodas. The pair had plenty of reasons to celebrate, with the Lakers coming out victorious, winning 120 - 112. 

Samuel and his dad then spent some time with the Warriors player Stephen Curry, sharing their admiration for the sport regardless of the team they support.

Samuel Affleck looks just like his mom

As Samuel has grown up, he's resembled his mother Jennifer Garner more and more. The youngest of their family is often seen with his parents, attending school events and lunches, and appearing to have a good relationship with both of his parents. 

While Affleck and Garner divorced in 2018, the pair remain close friends and co-parents, spending many of their holidays together and supporting each other through challenging times, including the fires that struck Los Angeles in January, and Affleck's divorce from Jennifer Lopez

The Affleck-Garner family remains tight-knit, sharing kids: Violet, 19, Finn, 16, and Samuel
