The Los Angeles Lakers ended their 2024 NBA Playoffs campaign with a 4-1 Round 1 loss against the defending champions, Denver Nuggets, at the Ball Arena on Monday night. Despite LeBron James ending one rebound shy from his triple-double against the Nuggets in Game 5, the Lakers lost the game courtesy of Jamal Murray's game-winner. However, the four-time NBA champion enjoyed his final game of the season as he was spotted mocking a female fan, sitting courtside, after scaring her.
Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray, who was listed as questionable ahead of Game 5 due to an injury, was the star of the night as he registered a game-high 32 points with seven assists and five three-pointers. Apart from LeBron, no other Lakers star could score even 20 points as the Lakers went down 108-106.
With 6 minutes remaining in the third quarter, LeBron James was in disagreement with the officials over a foul call and while expressing his dissent, LeBron walked around the court. During his walk, a female Nuggets fan tried to get into his head, however, the record 20-time NBA All-Star responded by jumping scaring the woman.
