Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics brought another round of celebrities to Chase Center in San Francisco to witness the Dubs take a 3-2 series lead with a 104-94 win on Monday.

Coming back to the arena for another game was rapper Jay-Z, who was in attendance for Game 1 of the Finals earlier this month. This time, he came along with his daughter Blue Ivy. The two shared a moment on the big screen for the fans, and Jay-Z decided to really own up to his dadness when he went in for a hug and kiss that seemed to embarrass Blue.

Jay-Z wasn’t the only rapper in attendance, as Too Short and E-40, two Bay Area rap legends, were in the house on Monday as well.

Outside of the music scene, there was Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens, who was spotted behind the courtside seats expressing his support for the home team. Owens played for the 49ers from 1996 to 2003.

Other celebrities spotted at the game were California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Oakland A’s pitcher Dave Stewart.
