MANILA, Philippines – As if a blowout win wasn't enough, Indiana Pacers fans didn't hold back from adding insult to injury during the Pacers' 136-94 demolition of the Los Angeles Lakers, Tuesday (Wednesday Manila Time).
Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and JaVale McGee all heard earfuls from the Indiana faithful as the rowdy home crowd made attempts to distract them at the charity stripe.
The Pacers home crowd chanted "LeBron's gonna trade you" while Brandon Ingram shot free throws ????

Ingram and Kuzma both took foul shots amid a chorus of "LeBron's gonna trade you!" from the stands, obviously poking fun at the Lakers' trade deal for New Orleans star Anthony Davis.
Ingram heard it loud and clear earlier, now Kyle Kuzma hears it from the #Pacers' faithful.

But it seemed like JaVale McGee received the worst of jabs from the hostile crowd.
Unlike Ingram and Kuzma, the former Golden State big man heard shouts of "Not worth trading!" as he stepped onto the foul line.
RUTHLESS. The #Pacers' fans to Javale McGee:

Absolutely savage.
The Lakers have now lost back-to-back games following a defeat at the hands of the Golden State Warriors in Oakland where they played without the services of LeBron James.
The 42-point beating also serves as James' most lopsided loss in his career.
What a night for the Lakers.
