Brown Booed Mercilessly by Lakers Fans
LOS ANGELES (AP) — After losing to one of their most intense rivals, several members of the Los Angeles Lakers were angry. The object of their ire wasn’t the Phoenix Suns, who beat the Lakers 106-98 Thursday night to regain the Western Conference lead.
It was, surprisingly, many in the crowd of 18,997 at Staples Center, who reacted to Kwame Brown’s problems in the third quarter by booing him every time he touched the ball for several minutes.
…
“Kwame’s sensitive. You boo him, it’s going to affect him. I told him I’ve got his back.”
….
Brown blew a dunk and committed four of his seven turnovers in the third quarter before coming out of the game for good with 3:50 left after committing his fifth foul. He had eight points and six rebounds.
