A fan a few rows behind the Lakers' bench has been escorted out by a handful of security guards. The fan was yelling toward the Lakers' bench, and it was loud enough to get some of the players' attention.

After the Lakers’ loss, James went on Twitter and took a shot at The Athletic’s Bill Oram for reporting about a rift between Klutch Sports and GM Rob Pelinka.
@billoram and I had a candid conversation after the game tonight and I know he has a job to do. I know what he wrote wasn’t truthful cause it never came from me. But I get it, SOURCES run this game. Nevertheless #LakerNation let him be cause he ain’t a bad guy. 🙏🏾✊🏾👑

The Lakers are currently in 9th place in the western conference with a 27-33, and even LeBron admits that the team still has an uphill battle to make the playoffs.
“We got a tough stretch with Dallas, Clippers again Thursday, then Golden State on Saturday,” “And we still got 10 road games this month, or March, so it don’t get easier for us.”
