Multiple 76ers Fans Ejected for Taunting Lakers’ Carmelo Anthony

Things got chippy for a moment during the fourth quarter of the Sixers’ 105–87 blowout of the Lakers on Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center.

During a dead ball situation, Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony walked toward the sideline where two men were sitting behind a row of courtside seats inside the arena. The fans had been yelling and saying things about Anthony for several possessions, and Anthony was apparently fed up.

Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported that one of the fans kept calling Anthony “boy” and yelled both “get in the corner boy” and “keep shooting boy” constantly.
