The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t mathematically out of the playoffs, but it appears that they are based on their fans’ reaction to their recent loss.

Hundreds of supporters can be seen leaving their seats and making their way out in a video that is swiftly going viral. The only individuals left in the video are Nuggets and Lakers supporters who don’t seem to mind the traffic.
It’s understandable why supporters are adamant about not staying to the end. The Lakers’ record now stands at 31-47 for the season.
With only four games remaining, the Lakers will be two games out of the final play-in berth if the San Antonio Spurs defeat the Portland Trail Blazers tonight (San Antonio is favored by 15.5).
