With the Los Angeles Lakers one win from the franchise’s 17th championship, Staples Center and L.A. Live have asked fans not to be in the area for Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Friday night.
Staples Center, nor L.A. Live, will be showing the game against the Miami Heat or potential postgame celebrations on any of the area’s digital video boards. Furthermore, vehicle and pedestrian access will be limited.
All sidewalks on the north and south sides of Chick Hearn Court will be closed, along with Star Plaza at Staples Center and L.A. Live’s Microsoft Plaza.
