Fans react to Lakers’ nail-biting win Over Blazers
After the Lakers secured a victory in the matchup, and notably without LeBron James, fans had an enthusiastic reaction.

One fan expressed their joy by commenting, “Lakers Win, Warriors, Suns, Nuggets & Clippers loss, we’re eating good tonight.”
However, some fans in the community are also a little upset and puzzled by the excitement of the Lakers fans. Some fans believe that the Blazers were done dirty as some referee decisions were in favor of the Lakers. One fan expressed himself on X and said, “I am sorry how does a Lakers fan feel good after watching their team almost lose to the Blazers, after the Refs put you all at the line 37 times tonight, and only put the Blazers at the line 9 times? watched this game, this was a 100% cheat job!”
