PATRICK SWAYZE - SWAYZE IN GOOD HEALTH AT LAKERS GAME

PATRICK SWAYZE defied reports he's close to death by appearing happy and healthy at a Los Angeles Lakers play-off game on Friday night (23May08).
The Ghost star, who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, joined celebrity basketball fans including Jack Nicholson, Tobey Maguire, David and Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria Parker and Sylvester Stallone at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Cheering on the Lakers against the San Antonio Spurs, smiling Swayze was spotted in the crowd with his wife Lisa Niemi.
And his presence seemed to give the Lakers the life they needed - the team hammered the Spurs 101-71 to go up 2-0 in the Western Conference basketball final series.
