However, the second-seeded Suns would prove to be too big a mountain to climb for the California side. In other words, the Lakers ended their brief postseason run after a disappointing 100-113 loss at home.

Meanwhile, Lakers fans couldn’t digest the humiliating result at home from a relatively inexperienced Phoenix squad. Therefore, they decided to vent their frustration by heckling Kendall Jenner, whose boyfriend, Devin Booker dropped 47 points to seal the deal for the Phoenix Suns.

“Get the f**k outta here,” the fans chanted, according to a TMZ report. “Go back to Phoenix, you’re not welcome.”

“Honestly, I was thinking about Kobe and the conversations we had,” Booker said after the game. ”About what we went through, and the postseason, and being legendary and taking the steps to get there.”
