It's a basket-bore as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes take timeout to watch the LA Lakers

By Daily Mail Reporter

Is it over yet? Tom Cruise looks to the sky as his wife Katie Holmes appears to be in her own world

Even basketball's biggest fans would acknowledge the game is not for everyone.

The act of running down the court while bouncing a large ball, then throwing it in the net and repeating it 200 times can create lulls for even die-hard supporters.

So it was perhaps no surprise that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes appeared to find the on-court action less than thrilling when the LA Lakers took on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Los Angles this week.

Holmes, 31, in a denim jacket, jeans, peep toe boot heels, appeared sullen while Cruise occupied himself with a box of popcorn.

Also present at the match between the Lakers and Timberwolves were Leonardo Di Caprio and Chris Brown.

R&B singer Brown spent some time talking to Tom Cruise before they shared a manly hug.

While Di Caprio spent his time focussing on the match, which was eventually won by the Lakers 104 to 96.

After the game, LA Lakers star Kobe Bryant walked over to Cruise and gave him a high-five.

According to a report the actor is devastated that David Beckham is out of the World Cup.

The Beckhams and the Cruises have become friends since David and Victoria moved to Los Angeles.

A source close to the actor allegedly said: 'Tom is devastated for David but at the same time he feels this is a sign that it’s time for him to move on from soccer.

'He can see a biopic of David Beckham being just the beginning of his new role as a sporting ambassador and Hollywood star.

'He’s sure David will make a full recovery and play again — and that will be the perfect ending to his story as a sporting legend.'
