Lakers Streak of 270 Home Sellouts Ends

The Lakers enjoyed an amazing streak of 270 home sellouts (7 years worth of games). They’re the Lakers, why not? But that streak has come to a screaching hault. This all boils down to Kobe Bryant and his injury.

Apparently, Laker fans aren’t interested in seeing Xavier Henry, Nick Young, and the like on a nightly basis. But I’m sure they’ll start anew once #24 is back.

The Lakers’ home sellout streak ended at 270 games Tuesday night when the team drew 18,426, just short of the capacity of 18,997, during a 116-95 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans at Staples Center. The Lakers had sold out 320 straight games including the playoffs.

The last non-sellout for the Lakers at Staples Center came Dec. 6, 2006, against New Orleans/Oklahoma City, when they drew 18,535.
