On Wednesday night, Los Angeles Lakers held a ceremony to present their 17 mo pennant that identifies them as NBA champions . Recall that the Angelenos won the Larry O’Brien trophy last season, but had not performed the traditional act due to the absence of public. In front of a Staples Center with an audience , LA once again celebrated the success achieved by showing the new flag, a few days after the start of the Playoffs .
The pennant was hidden by a message that read: “ Lakers family, stay tuned “.

Then, under the unmistakable sound of We Are The Champions , the pennant was revealed. Excited fans cheered and celebrated a magical moment in Los Angeles history. Subsequently the team responded on the court winning 124 – 122 to the Rockets. It was an important victory that keeps them in the fight for sixth place in the standings, a place that would exempt him from playing the mini tournament prior to the Playoffs crosses.
# LakersFamily , this is for you.
