Timberlake and Watt got plenty of TV time in Game 5.

If you watched Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals last night for even a few minutes, you're well aware that Justin Timberlake and JJ Watt were seated court side together.

Timberlake, who held a concert at the Toyota Center on Wednesday night, joined the Houston Texans' star and his girlfriend, Kealia Ohai, to soak in the Rockets' thrilling 98-94 victory, along with several other celebrities in attendance such as Houston rappers Travis Scott, Trae tha Truth and Chamillionaire, as well as Hakeem Olajuwon, Elvin Hayes and Andre Johnson.

Timberlake, Watt and Ohai got the most screen time of anyone though, as the cameras seemed to pan to the court side crew after every big play - including Chris Paul's ridiculous double-clutch three-pointer over David West in the fourth quarter. 

In addition to all of the musicians, athletes and celebrities in attendance for the pivotal Game 5, the Houston Rockets also provided tickets for more than 300 seniors from Sante Fe High School. Prior to the game, both teams honored the victims of the tragic school shooting, and the school choir sang the national anthem. The seniors were recognized, along with the first responders and others from Santa Fe HS.

Travis Scott, who has been a fixture at Rockets' home playoff games this season, also addressed the students from Sante Fe HS and the first responders, saying, “We love you. Ya’ll the strongest people on this earth. Thank you for being heroes to all of us. LET’S GO ROCKETS!”
