The Lakers won at the buzzer and their fans are FURIOUS
The Lakers’ first round draft pick is top five protected. The more they win, the more likely it is to go to Philadelphia.

Rookie point guard Jordan Clarkson has been a bright spot in a terrible season for the Los Angeles Lakers. Clarkson might have played his best game as a pro on Monday, finishing with 26 points, 11 assists and the game-winning buck with under a second remaining in the Lakers’ victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Jordan Clarkson lays it in with less than a second left to win the game. Horrible, horrible win for the Lakers.

— Martin Brian Ansah (@DaAnsahonSports) March 31, 2015 Uhhh, damnit Clarkson, THINK ABOUT YOU'RE FUTURE #Lakers #LALvsPHI
— Mark Fishman (@TheFishKnowsIt) March 31, 2015 Jordan Clarkson is the Sixers best player.
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) March 31, 2015 Why the fuck are you winning stupid Lakers. Fuck you Jordan Clarkson
— Jay ⚽ (@vazquez_jas0n) March 31, 2015 Fact that, due to pick protections & lottery odds, celebrating a game winner in OT by Clarkson isn't the 1st natural reaction feels awful.
— Darius Soriano (@forumbluegold) March 31, 2015 This season is the worst type of fan experience there could be. I cannot be convinced otherwise.
— Darius Soriano (@forumbluegold) March 31, 2015 Sorry Lakers fans. It’ll be better soon. Well, maybe not that soon if Jordan Clarkson keeps winning you basketball games. That draft pick is top five protected, you know. Otherwise, it goes to the 76ers.
