“I’m a Laker fan honestly. I tell my people that,” D-Lo said after the game. “Never been team fan cause you’re actually in it, but to be through a storm and be here again and get to witness some of the things that I got to witness, it’s fair to say that I’m a fan.

“It’s good honestly. They’re treating me really well with open arms, welcoming me since I’ve been here. It’s been a good feeling.”
