Lakers LeBron James was ejected by flirting couple in Indiana, engulfing Pacers in extra time

LeBron James put on a classic performance in Indiana in the final contest of the Lakers’ five-game Eastern Conference road trip.

He scored 15 of the team’s final 21 points, including fourth inning and extra time, to ensure the team finished the trip with a 124-116 win after losing three of the previous four road games.

James finished the season with the highest 39 points, while also having 6 assists and 5 rebounds while playing 44 of a possible 53 minutes.

As the late Lakers regrouped, he started to hear quite a bit of it from the Pacers loyalists at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, and midway through extra time he heard enough.

He pointed to a couple who were sitting next to the official, which eventually resulted in two fans being kicked out of the game.

The contest is a return to court for James after serving a one-game suspension for picking up on Isaiah Stewart in Detroit on Sunday.

That suspension forced the four-time NBA champion to miss the Lakers’ game at Madison Square Garden, one of his favorite playgrounds.

With this win over the Pacers, the Lakers are now 10-10 at the Thanksgiving break and go home with four of their next five games at the STAPLES Center.
