Obama Shoots Hoops with Clooney, Maguire

RENO, Nev. - After a night of hobnobbing with Hollywood's rich and famous, President Obama hit the basketball court this morning for a friendly face-off with actors George Clooney and Tobey Maguire and members of the White House staff, officials said.

The game took place inside the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center at the Rancho Park Golf Course in Los Angeles just miles from the Beverly Hilton where Obama spent the night. Cameras were not allowed inside.
"Who won the game?" shouted CBS' Mark Knoller as the president shook hands with supporters along a ropeline.

Obama momentarily recoiled, asking "What basketball game? What are you talking about?"
Then the president recalled with a smile, "As you might, expect George and I won, but I think we are all winners because nobody got hurt." (In a November 2010 game of hoops, the president required 12 stitches on his lip after being struck by a wayward elbow.)
