Asked Malik Monk about the (very) loud Lakers fans in San Antonio:

"Like a home game!” he exclaimed.

Said the only time he’s seen anything like it in the NBA is when the Lakers came to Charlotte.

The Lakers undoubtedly have one of the strongest fan bases in the NBA. Supporters of the team are spread all over the nation.

Lakers fans that were in attendance on Tuesday were treated to an exciting game. L.A. and San Antonio needed overtime to settle their contest, but the Lakers ultimately came away with a thrilling win.

Russell Westbrook had his best game as a Laker in the victory. With LeBron James sidelined due to an injury, Westbrook was able to carry a massive load as he’s done in past years with other teams.

The veteran finished the game with 33 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. He shot 15-for-27 from the field.
