That\u2019s some bulls \u2014 t.\u201d<\/p>\n Reaves\u2019 teammates and other Lakers staffers attempted to diffuse the situation, but it nonetheless continued for several tense moments.<\/p>\n \u201cHave some f \u2014 king respect,\u201d Reaves said as he inched closer and closer to the guy. \u201cHave some respect.\u201d<\/p>\n Thankfully for all parties, Reaves eventually walked away from the scene before things seriously escalated.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear if Reaves or the fan will face any league discipline over the altercation. It\u2019s also not yet known how severe Doncic\u2019s hamstring injury is.<\/p>\n What is certain is the Lakers ended up getting blown out by the Thunder, 139-96, in a game many Los Angeles fans had hoped would prove they were legitimate NBA title contenders.<\/p>\n -This story was originally published in the New York Post<\/a> and reproduced with permission.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
