Chris Brown and Rihanna made sweet music yesterday in their own version of “Love & Basketball.”
The on-again, off-again, on-again lovebirds were seated courtside at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles for the Knicks-Lakers Christmas Day showdown.
Brown, 23, and Rihanna, 24, were all smiles during the game, which Los Angeles won, 100-94.
Before the game, Rihanna tweeted a picture of herself as a sexy Santa helper: “Santa baby! Hurry down the chimney tonight! Is it too late to be nice?”
The couple’s rocky relationship will always be known for an ugly beat-down that Brown inflicted on Rihanna nearly four years ago.
Brown brutally beat his gal pal after a pre-Grammy Awards party in 2009, just six miles away from where they were seated all lovey-dovey yesterday.
Brown pleaded guilty to assault. He avoided jail time in the plea deal and did probation and community service.
