LOOK: The internet reacts to Lakers loss against league-worst Cavs
MANILA, Philippines — The Los Angeles Lakers just lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and their fans are anything but happy.
Playing their tenth matchup without Lebron James, the Lakers dropped a 95-101 loss to the lowly Cavs at Staples Center, Monday.

Fans of both teams couldn't quite believe the result with Lakers fans fuming following the embarrassing loss while Cavs fans just seemed to be happy to bring home a W against LBJ's current team.

Following losses against teams like the Cavs and the Knicks, Luke Walton and the Lakers badly need a W to get themselves back on track.
The Lakers will host the Chicago Bulls (10W-33L) on Wednesday.
