The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Denver Nuggets 108-106 on Monday night.
Because they were already down 3-1 in the best-of-seven playoff series, L.A.’s most recent defeat ended their year for good.
One particular moment from Game 5 perfectly illustrated how annoying of a series LeBron James had when it came to how he was treated by referees and fans.
“[The refs] are f***ing horrible. They are f***ing horrible,” James could be heard saying at one point.
A nearby Nuggets fan wasn’t keen on James’ excuses, though.
That is when James snapped:
LeBron punked this lady and made her flinch after she mocked him & called him a crybaby 💀

Big picture, the Lakers’ season is now over and the front office has some very tough decision to make.
Darvin Ham’s future with the organization is in doubt, as is LeBron James’.
What will the Lakers look like come next season? Time will tell.
