Beyonc\u00e9<\/a><\/strong> and Jay-Z<\/strong> are feeling that Golden State of mind on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

The A-list couple sat courtside at Game 3 of the NBA Finals with the Toronto Raptors facing off against the Golden State Warriors. As of publishing time, the series is currently tied 1-1 and this is the first game of the finals being played in Oakland, Calif.<\/p>\n

Bey and Jay arrived at Oracle Arena a few minutes into the first quarter and immediately caused social media to erupt<\/a> in quite the frenzy. Even the NBA’s official Twitter account posted about their arrival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “Formation” singer and her husband looked stylish as always as they sat next to Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob<\/strong> on the court. Jay-Z wore a black sweatshirt, black pants and a black baseball cap while Bey stunned in a gold dress and gold heels. She accessorized with a by FAR leather clutch purse<\/a> (retails at $625). <\/p>\n

Although neither one wore jerseys for a specific team, Beyonc\u00e9’s golden outfit could provide some hints as to who they’re both rooting for (it’s safe to say they’re team Dub Nation.)<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Bey and Jay attend a number of basketball games each season. They attended playoff games when Beyonc\u00e9’s home team the Houston Rockets played against the Warriors. She posted a number of photos on Instagram of her attendance at the game<\/a>. Last year they also went to other match-ups at Oracle Arena, including when the Warriors played against the New Orleans Pelicans. She glamorously sat courtside with her daughter Blue Ivy<\/strong> at the 2018 NBA All Star Game as well.<\/p>\n

Jay-Z used to have a stake in the Brooklyn Nets, but he sold his shares<\/a> in 2013.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It’s been a big news week for the couple. On Sunday, the 37-year-old and Blue Ivy channeled their inner Lion Queens<\/a> at Tina Knowles’ Wearable Art Gala. It was perfect timing because on Monday, we got to hear Bey’s voice as Nala<\/a> in The Lion King<\/em> remake for the first time. Needless to say, we’ll be counting down the days until July 19.<\/p>\n

Also on Monday, Forbes<\/em> reported that Jay-Z was officially a billionaire<\/a> thanks to his many business ventures and prolific music career.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z made quite a splash at the game on Wednesday, there’s one other basketball-loving celebrity who wasn’t<\/em> there: Drake<\/a><\/strong>. The Toronto native is the Raptors’ global ambassador and his love for the team has never been more evident. The “God’s Plan” rapper received some flak<\/a> a few weeks ago when he was seen massaging Toronto coach Nick Nurse <\/strong>at one point in the game against the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n

But with the Raptors in the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history, Drake was not about to turn down a chance to troll the other teams. During Game 1 of the Finals, he specifically called out Warriors star Steph Curry<\/strong>. He did so by wearing a signed Dell Curry<\/strong> jersey to the game. Dell played on the Raptors from 1999-2002 and is Steph’s father.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But all’s fair in love and basketball because the Warriors apparently played Pusha T<\/strong>‘s diss track about Drake “The Story of Adidon” as they warmed up<\/a> before the game.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
